Pick it Back Up

Lyrics

i’ve been bruised and battered more than a few times but i can’t say i didn’t commit no crimes after so long filled with anger and hate ??? she came along, brought me back from hell

well it wasn’t easy, i put up a good fight nobody could tell me that i wasn’t right i burned all the bridges, and torched the town buried myself and wrapped my heart in a shell

there were times i thought, i’d never come back headed west wolverine, my bags were packed drinking my pay, and wasting my days like Ness said, I had some evil ways

spending nights, amongst the tired and lonely there’s a side of me for your eyes only somewhere across town, where the children play they say we’re down for the count, it’s the end of our days

pick it back up now slow and steady she’s been here all along standing ready? and death may come, and memories fade but life goes on so pick it back up now

sometimes at night, i drive for hours amongst the fallen homes and shining towers the smell of petrol, and the stains of industry reminiscent signs of recent captivity

and through it all, the blood sweat and tears and the ones who dare stand against brotherhood she’ll always be here till the very last breath reminding us all of what once was good

pick it back up now slow and steady she’s been here all along standing ready and death may come, for one and all but life goes on so pick it back up now
