Work No More - Walter Trout & The Radicals

I try, I try, I try Try to apologize But I can't seem to find the word I called you up in August Hoping I could be honest But, you never let me speak And it hurts me To know you trusted me Yeah, it hurts me That I let time run out the door And all my sorrys don't work no more I lie, I lie awake I, I lied straight to your face In hopes of sparing you the pain My head, my heart are prisoners Chained to all they remember You still look at me the same But I can't bring my guilty lips to say That it hurts me To know you trusted me Yeah, it hurts me That I let time run out the door And all my sorrys don't work no more You don't owe me anything I take all the blame I know it's hard believing Any word I say Now if I say out loud "I let you down" Time and time again My apologies on bended knee will never make amends And now we can't even be friends And it hurts me To know you trusted me Yeah, it hurts me That i let time run out the door And all my sorrys don't work no more My sorrys don't work no more My sorrys don't work no more

Give me no restrictions on what I do or say Don't speak of tomorrow when it's still today Leave me to my selfish ways, I'm well enough alone That is what I tell myself as I stumble home Derelict across the street in the garbage bin Looks like he's found something neat judging by his grin Such a long long way to go, I hope I get there soon Wish I could jump a great height and land in my front room Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Wake up in the morning, make sure I'm still alive Percolate the coffee, opens up my eyes Hear the cricket calling, switch on the TV Sit and stare for hours and cheer Dennis Lillee Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Through the de-restriction zone, we pass a long wide load Laugh at the reflections of cat's eyes on the road Freeways hypnotize me, up, up and away Hope we make it home tonight, be that as it may Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh Whoa ohh ohh, whoa ohh ohh ...
