lyrics

Dressed to impress but I'm never around
I have a habit of letting everyone down
I am the king of losing touch

I wasn't there to lend a helping hand
So I have no right left to speak as a friend
Too little too late to make amends

Never was too cool for school
Not smart enough to even play the fool
Friends I had I treated bad
I have become one rueful man

Boxed up my feelings in a frame of steel
And let my pride take hold of the wheel
I shut my door and hit the lights
I cut the cord and left at night

Lost part of my mind on I-55
It was gone for good when I hit the Texas state line
Jet rides twice a year can’t make it up

We fought like young men often do
We said some things you can’t take back
I was too stiff necked to give an inch
