A.J. Croce - Back Where I Began lyrics

rate me

Two steps back, one step ahead

What’s bad for the living is worse for the dead

Oh child, Oh child

I’m closer to the promised land, but i am back where I began

Spent all my money with nothing to show

With all that I’ve learned there’s so little I know

Oh child, Oh child

I’m closer to that promised land, but I’m back where I began

(Chorus)

You said you need somebody

But that ain’t nothing new

You said you need somebody

That needs somebody too

I look in the mirror, it’s a cryin’ shame

I look so much older, but I feel just the same

Oh child, Oh child

I’m closer to the promised land but back where I began

Lying on the bathroom floor, praying to the Lord

I swear I’ll never drink another drink, if this is my reward

Oh child, Oh child

I’m closer to that promised land, but I’m back where I began

You said you need somebody

But that ain’t nothing new

You said you need somebody

That needs somebody too

Lying on the bathroom floor, praying to the Lord

I swear I’ll never drink another drink, if this is my reward

Oh child, Oh child

I’m closer to that promised land, but I’m back where I began
