8 miles west of Virginia
On a road that's dark as coal
I asked my lord for forgiveness
He drove my car right off of that road
As I lay there bleeding
In a twisted wreck of smoke and fire
Begging, Making deals and pleading
I knew that I wouldn't get far
Yeah I knew that I wouldn't get far
There I go getting my hopes up
Just to get shot down again
I got a dealt a winning hand but ended up losing again
There I go getting my hopes up
Just to get shot down again
I got a dealt a winning hand but ended up losing again
Like a poor man masquerading
As a rich man who wanted more
Never realized he had it
Like a kid in a candy store
As I lay awake at night not sleeping
Wondering how I lost it all
Like a willow tree I stand a weeping
Oh how the mighty have fallen
Oh how the mighty have fallen
There I go getting my hopes up
Just to get shot down again
I got a dealt a winning hand but ended up losing again
There I go getting my hopes up
Just to get shot down again
I got a dealt a winning hand but ended up losing again
I got a dealt a winning hand but ended up losing again
I got a dealt a winning hand but ended up losing again
