Twelve

twelve hours awake at the wheel lord
twelve times i’ve heard that song
twelve miles to the service station
twelve months i been so wrong
i made up my mind
life is so unkind
it’s time to go on, now
i’m ready to start
twelve moons i have to wait sir
twelve places to leave and tell
twelve times i been to jail man
twelve steps to touch my girl
i made up my mind
life is so unkind
it’s time to roll on, now
i’m ready to move
twelve years around a sick world
twelve tears they make me cry
twelve journeys by the last train
twelve days you pass me by
i made up my mind
life is so unkind
it’s time to get up, now
i’m ready to turn
twelve tries to shut my old door
twelve ways to understand
twelve jobs to get on with life
twelve dollars in my hand
i made up my mind
life is so unkind
it’s time to ride on, now
and no more bad news…
