Sam Roberts - Dead End

Album:

Oh what?s wrong with me
Said oh what?s wrong with me
I know what I don?t wanna be
A dead end on the family tree

And I just lost my virginity
To a girl who won?t remember me at all
Took her out on a shopping spree
Happiness never happened for free

Could it be that I imagined things
I?m just sad instead of heartbroken
She came home but she?s leaving again
She?s coming back but she won?t say when

(chorus)

And I don?t sing songs anymore
I don?t feel young anymore
And it?s hard to conceal
That these tears that I cry are for real
Any more

My pop said I should be like him
My mom says I can live with them
I had to ask my little brother to lend
Me change for the bus ?til I see him again

I?m getting drunk every day of the week
My ship sunk but it had no leak
A fortune teller on Bishop street
She read my hand and the future is bleak

I?m tired of sitting upon the fence
I?ve got no self confidence
Why don?t I have a circle of friends
I?m so square they don?t even pretend

(chorus)

Don?t give in
You can never let them win
But I get cold
I get cold
Every night, night, night,
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart

Oh what?s wrong with me
Said oh Lord what?s wrong with me
I know what I don?t wanna be
A dead end on the family tree

And the train for my salvation
Is departing from the station
She don?t feel like conversation
So I?m talking to myself
I got nobody else
I got my bottle of booze and my stale cigarettes
Down from the shelf

(chorus)
