I've had a couple of drinks and it's getting late
I'm going home anyway
Was there something else you wanted to say?
All these people just give me a headache
And it don't matter what your friends think
You know, they're all just a trick of your mind

And I know it's easier to give up
And it makes more sense to walk away
But I stay long 'cause I am strong and that's what makes me
The man who stayed

Holy Mama, where are you now,

When I've been suffering, oh and how?
Everything that I had life took away
And we hurt each other habitually
Ain't it a wonder we never see
That we only hurt ourselves and we'll never be free

I have been up to the mountain
And I'm lonelier down here than I've ever been
But I stay long 'cause I am strong and that's what makes me

The burn't man, the burnt man, the burnt man,

I used to think if I used up my love then it'd be gone
But it goes on and on and it is strong
