"Pulling The Strings" lyrics - DELBERT MCCLINTON

Life's a bitch, yet so sublime
I'm going nowhere but I'm making good time
This might kill me, but I'll be alright
If I can find a way to get her out of my mind

Pour me a drink, make it a double
I'll just be over here man, I'm not looking for trouble
Sitting and thinking, crying and drinking
Coming up with nothing but some real bad luck

Sometimes I feel like I'm coming around
Sometimes I just want to scream
It's hard enough to live my life
Without somebody, somebody else pulling the strings

Sometimes it's better, but it never lasts
Like when your rollercoaster comes off the tracks
You can't get up and you can't get down
And everybody else just keeps spinning around

Sometimes I feel like I'm coming around
Sometimes I just want to scream
It's hard enough to live my life
Without somebody, somebody else pulling the strings

Sometimes I feel like I'm coming around
Sometimes I just want to scream
It's hard enough to live my life
Without somebody, somebody else pulling the strings
