Sixteen years

Without even a place to call my own,

But I'll dry my tears looking for

A place to rest my bones

All these years

But never changed the one that I have known

And despite my fears

I'm sure that I can make it on my own

Quality drugs and limousines

Oh momma this is killing me

I'm half the man I used to be

To give to lust and gambling

Oh momma I need rescuing

What sixteen years has done to me

Sixteen years burning every bridge

That I have known

Without you here, the world has

Gotten colder on my own

Quality drugs and limousines

Oh momma this is killing me

I'm half the man I used to be

To give to lust and gambling

Oh momma I need rescuing

What sixteen years has done to me

There's nothing like it - I'm going away

There's nothing like the feeling

Of being alone now on a new york street

Gives everything some meaning

There's nothing like being torn apart

From a love you've known right from the start

There's nothing like this feeling

Quality drugs and limousines

Oh momma this is killing me

I'm half the man I used to be

To give to lust and gambling

Oh momma I need rescuing

What sixteen years has done to me

It's what sixteen years has done to me

It's what sixteen years has done to me
