Mike Mullane

every day working hard pushing on for something thats not there

but he cares hopes he wont turn out to nothing

does it cause he has to guess its what somebody told him

guess nobody said that you gotta be your own man

all the days slipping by, mike is getting tired

he dont care anymore, his mind is all but fired

hes moving life away from what it used to be and finding

that theres nothing more alive to him than being close to dying

this is the story of a kid named mike

he worked so hard he nearly lost his life

well he was under too much pressure

life was closing in from both ways

guess for things to change hes got to find out the hard way

all the days slipping by, mike knows that theres something thats not there

hes aware the girls he meets wont fill the void

but nothing comes his way and the price is all but paid

and the life he leads wont get him there anyway

so hes driving fast drinking hard, mikes playing with fire

he dont care, not a flinch, the stakes are getting higher

hes burning down his bridges just to watch them fall apart

now all hes got left is a 40 and a broken heart

this song goes out to a kid named mike

mike if you keep living like this youre gonna lose your life

but I want you to know I think its better

than not living at all

I just hope someone is waiting to break your fall

mike mullane has got a new way to live his life

mike mullane has got a new way to stay alive.
