Look inside the mirror
  But I don't know who I see
  Smoke another cigarette
  A smile holds back the tears
  These contradictions
  Seem to be the story of my life
  A simple man with memories
  Of those long lost golden days
  I close my eyes and slowly driftaway
  Mistakes I've made remind me
  Of the roads I shouldn't choose
  Never comes that easy
  When you've nothing left to lose
  I can't see the answers
  Tell me why am I so blind?
  A tired man who'll make the best
  Of another lonely day
  I close my eyes and slowly driftaway
  Never thought I'd make it
  Just from playin' my guitar
  Just a little smile
  Always shelters me from pain
  Everytime I start to slide
  I wish upon a star
  The sun comes out
  And dries up all the rain
  I'm an honest man
  Who refused the shade
  On a hot and lonely day
  I close my eyes and dream my life away
  Now I know that I can stop the rain
  Close my eyes and slowly driftaway
