Youve got to get yourself together
Before youre just a memory on a shelf
Cant you see im trying to help you man
But first, you know you gotta help yourself
Youve been travelling at the speed of darkness
Youve gotta slow down before you burn
Cant you see that where youre heading to
Is the land of no return
Your first love was mary jane
But you passed her over for sweet cocaine
Thats when your wheels started sinking low
And got bogged down in the heavy snow
Now youre married to an ugly wife
Shes really made a mess of your life
Shes a wild ride, and a hard one to divorce
But man, you gotta come down from that horse
You let down the ones who loved you
Fooled them all with your childlike charm
Took them all for a long long ride
Just to keep, that woman on your arm
So turn around and come back home
Before your green fields turn to stone
Before it gets too late to save
Your weary bones from an early grave.
And for anyone who likes and expects a chorus, tough shit!
