Washed Up
Ever had the feeling In the palm of your hand
That you've had enough Only then your dream
Life kicks you in the teeth Crumbles like it's sand
And you feel washed up So you stare at the bottle
Like a ship in a bottle And you open the lid
Sailing stormy seas Empty the bottle
It's a never ending struggle Not knowing you did
Brings you to your knees Wake up in the morning
When life brings you down With a head real sore
Gotta bounce back up Check out the bottle
Take a deep breath But there is no more
Suck it in buttercup Head for the shower
Dig deep stand tall Turn it to full power
Get over it all Wash away your dreams
Hold your head up high As the water steams
Eyes front don't cry
Ever felt washed up
Ever tried so hard When it all goes wrong
Still not made the grade And the radio's on
Gave it your best shot But plays the wrong song
Lost the cards you played Take a deep breath in
Shook the bottle hard And count up to ten
Took the wind from the sails Let it out real slow
Felt like your life Then do it over again
Was heading off the rails
When you feel so low Ever woken up
Take a deep breath in Feeling broken and lost
Suck it all up Found the bottle lying
'Cause one day you'll win In the bin you tossed
Give it all you got Looked out of the window
Give it one more shot Watched the world go by
Stand up to the pain Unaware of the tears
Try it over again Falling as you cry
Turn and look around
Ever felt washed up At the mess you're in
When it all goes wrong Life a big struggle
And the radio's on Now you need to dig in
But plays the wrong song Give it one more shot
Take a deep breath in Give it all you got
And count up to ten Keep going don't stop
Let it out real slow You'll reach the top
Then do it over again
Ever thought you had it (C) Jane Shields
