Back In My Own Hands

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well I knew a girl, she was the child of the devil

It took me so damn long to see

That she could wrap me around her fingers

Till there was nothing left of poor old me

I had a night job down in the city

Where the hours seem to turn into days

The frozen clock on the wall it wouldn't move at all

I had to make my get-a-way

So, I laid my cards down on the table

I had a feeling I was ready and able

Now I'm living it my own way

I hear the music that I gotta play

It's so easy waking up to the day

With my life back in my own hands

There are times when I can't sing this song

When the days and nights have gone all wrong

But with somebody to love, a little help from above

I'll get my feet back on the around before long

So, I laid my cards down on the table

I had a feeling I was ready and able

Now I'm living it my own way

I hear the music that I gotta play

It's so easy waking up to the day

With my life - back in my own hands

Back in my own hands

Back in my own hands

Back in my own hands

There are times when I can't sing this song

When the days and nights are always going all wrong

But with somebody to love, a little help from above

I'll get my feet back on the ground before long

So, I laid my cards down on the table

I had a feeling I was ready and able

Now I'm living it my own way

I hear the music that I gotta play

It's so easy waking up to the day

With my life back in my own hands

Now I'm living it my own way

I hear the music that I gotta play

It's so easy waking up to the day

With my life back in my own hands

Back in my own hands

Back in my own hands
