Tommy Shaw Gets Me

All day long I have been thinking of this song, which is kind of appropriate seeing that it's New Years Eve day. I usually just associate it with my birthday, but throw in the fact that most of my shift at work today was isolated away from people and back in the woods and it really fits. And it sums up how I feel in a lot of ways. Tommy Shaw just gets me.

 

 

Another year has passed me by
Still I look at myself and cry
What kind of man have I become?

All of the years I've spent in search of myself
And I 'm still in the dark
'cause I can't seem to find the light alone.

Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I 'm a lonely soldier off to war
Sent away to die...never knowing quite why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all

Ten thousand people look my way
But they can't see the way that I feel
Nobody even cares to try

I spend my life and sell my soul on the road
And I 'm still in the dark
'cause I can't seem to find the light alone.

Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I'm a lonely sailor lost at sea
Drifting with the tide
Never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
(I am alive)
Looking for love I 'm a man with emotion
(and my heart 's on fire)
I 'm dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean
I 'm alive!
