I've been looking through the pages
Of my books and magazines
Trying to find some truth in a life of dreams
Trying to make a big connection
From my heart into your brain
And be what I want
Not just a pawn in your game

Well I'm twenty six years old
I've got two things on my mind
I've got two strong legs, two strong arms
I've got twenty six good reasons
For everything I am
I've got four little angels
Struggling to keep me from harm

You can take away my life, you can take away my land
Take away the things that I hold dear
But I've still got my love, here in my heart
And a bottle of the best in my hand

I've been up and I've been down
I've been forward, I've been back
To the place that I knew
I was waiting at the station
But my train never came
So I stood and watched
Laughing alone in the rain
