Back In My Own Hands(Album Version) - Head East

作词：Mike Somerville/Dan Birney

作曲：Mike Somerville/Dan Birney

Well I knew a girl she was the child of the devil

It took me so damn long to see

That she could wrap me around her fingers

'Til there was nothin' left of poor old me

I had a night job down in the city

Where the hours seem to turn into days

The frozen clock on the wall it wouldn't move at all

I had to make my getaway

So I laid my cards down on the table

I had a feelin' I was ready and able

Now I'm livin' it my own way

I hear the music that I gotta play

It's so easy wakin' up to the day

With my life

Back in my own hands

There are times when I can't sing this song

When the days and nights have gone all wrong

But with somebody to love a little help from above

I'll get my feet back on the ground before long

So I laid my cards down on the table

I had a feelin' I was ready and able

Now I'm livin' it my own way

I hear the music that I gotta play

It's so easy wakin' up to the day

With my life

Back in my own hands

Back in my own hands

Back in my own hands

Back in my own hands

There are times when I can't sing this song

When the days and nights are always goin' wrong

But with somebody to love a little help from above

I'll get my feet back on the ground before long

So I laid my cards down on the table

I had a feelin' I was ready and able

Now I'm livin' it my own way

I hear the music that I gotta play

It's so easy wakin' up to the day

With my life

Back in my own hands

Now I'm livin' it my own way

I hear the music I gotta play

It's so easy wakin' up to the day

With my life

Back in my own hands

Back in my own hands

Back in my own hands
