Lyrics »

Now, what can you say - there isn't much to tell But I'm going down hill, but I blame myself I've been - jumpin' at shadows, thinkin' - about my life Now, everybody - they point their hand at me but I know I'm just a picture - of what I could have been I've been jumping at shadows, thinkin' about my life break: Now, God, have mercy - 'cause I think I'm going insane The devil's been gettin' at me - he's got me down again I've been - jumpin' at shadows Thinkin', oh, about my life
