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
