ARMSTRONG-The Good Book Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you need a brand new start
Youre down on your luck
And theres nowhere to run
Theres a light thats shining
And its flicker keeps you strong
Makes you want to get up for a second run, second to none
Im on my way back home
Where the sun shines like its shown
I may be down, but Im not alone
Cause Im on my way back home
Memories of younger years
Telling stories all night long
Puts things back in perspective for a second run, second to none
Im on my way back home
Where the sun shines like its shown
I may be down, but Im not alone
Cause Im on my way back home
For a second run, second to none
Im on my way back home
Where the sun shines like its shown
I may be down, but Im not alone
Cause Im on my way back home
