lyrics

I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF PEOPLE TO BLAME

IN THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY I'M DINING ON CHEAP BEER
I WAS TOLD I HAD A LOT OF PROMISE SO HOW'D I END UP HERE
WHY AM I NOT WEALTHY OR HAVE A FAMOUS NAME
I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF PEOPLE TO BLAME

I KNOW PEOPLE HALF AS SMART GOING TWICE AS FAR
LIVIN' IN GREAT BIG MANSIONS AND DRIVIN' BRAND NEW CARS
I HAD SUCCESS IN MY SIGHT BUT SOMETHING BLURRED MY AIM
AND I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF PEOPLE TO BLAME

NOBODY READS MY EMAILS OR CALLS ME ON THE PHONE
MY FRIENDS AVOID ME LIKE THE PLAQUE
AFRAID I'LL ASK THEM FOR A LOAN
IN THE NIGHT TIME I'M SO HOPEFUL
BUT EVERY MORNING FEELS THE SAME
AND I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF PEOPLE TO BLAME

WELL I WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA
& STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY I'M IN MY 30TH YEAR
OF A FIVE YEAR PLAN
FROM THE START FATE WAS AGAINST ME
AND SNAKEBIT IS WHAT I CLAIM
AND I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF PEOPLE TO BLAME

COULD BE MY MANAGER, LIKELY IT'S MY WIFE
MAYBE TOTAL STRANGERS ARE MESSIN' UP MY LIFE
SOMETIMES I FEEL INVISIBLE CAUSE NO ONE SP/EAKS MY NAME
AND I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF PEOPLE TO BLAME
YEAH, I'M FEELIN' LESS CHEERFUL
CAUSE NO ONE KNOWS MY NAME
AND I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF PEOPLE TO BLAME
YEAH, I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF PEOPLE TO BLAME
