When I'm gone I'm on the phone wishing I was back home
Want to be by your side, Want to get off this ride
When I'm home I can enjoy simple things, family life
Mind is off somewhere else like I'm all by myself
Think about what I need to work on to succeed
Little kids time flies, come on man prioritize

Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live

What makes us satisfied? If I told you then I lied
More like Jesus less like me its the only way that I see
It don't hurt me when you say "YOU GUYS SUCK GET OFF THE STAGE!"
Keep on going maybe not, Keep on going maybe not

Alcohol whip it up, temporary bandaid
Later peel the bandage off
Another layer of yourself

It's a strange way to live
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live

And I don't mind the world
And I don't mind the time
I don't mind the fool
I just mind being away

Friend told me keeping payer, got a glimpse and he shared
"Treasures of this life just do not compare."
Driving 'round in Seattle
Every kid looked like he'd been in a battle
So much sadness, sadness all the time
See that kid at the barn its my fault I caused harm
Hope we can bury the hatchet not in each others' hand

Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live

And I don't mind the world
And I don't mind the time
I don't mind the fool
I just mind being away
