[Verse 1:]
It's 3:45 tell me I'm Okay thoughts flying in and out my head...
It's 4:45 I'm still awake staring at this ceiling in my bed...
Hand on my solo...
That's almost empty...
Everybody loves me...
Hit me with Benzes...
But who I tryin' to kid now...
Need to put this shit down...
People I don't even know tell me how to live now...

[Chorus:]
I'm Lost On A Road...
But no one even cares...
No one left to call...

Walking around...
Looking for a way...
But no one tells me which way to go...
There's people around...
People say my name...

Hand me a cigarette...
Don't care bout no cancer...
Call up my girl friend...
She doesn't answer...
So I'm own my own now...
Green in this bowl now...
Pedal to floor now...
I need to slow down...
