mark stephen jones - self made man lyrics
[verse 1]
man, i used to smoke a lot of dope
do a lot of cocaine
i drank a lot of whiskey
and i popped a lot of pills
i spent a lot of years riding on that night train
looking for a deeper, darker thrill
and i probably never should’ve gotten married
i d+mn sure never should have been divorced
she deserved a whole lot more than half of nothing
half of nothing’s all i could afford
[chorus]
but you can’t reach the gates of heaven
walking through the fires of h+ll
it’s a long and troubled road
friends, i know it well
i can’t blame anybody else for being wherе i am
it took a while for me to understand
i am a sеlf made man
[verse 2]
i’ve been a horror a thousand times for money
a lot of money’s slipped right through my hands
just about the only thing i didn’t spend
was time with my family and friends
[chorus]
but you can’t reach the gates of heaven
walking through the fires of h+ll
it’s a long and troubled road
friends, i know it well
i can’t blame anybody else for being where i am
it took a while for me to understand
i am a self made man
[outro]
i am a self made man
