I STAND ALONE

When the lights go down I ask myself

Where did it go

Every time I think of days gone by

It's 2 for the show

Too many stages everybody's

Swaying to the radio

If it were to end tomorrow

I got to taste it all

And now I just stand alone

Paid my dues to prove them wrong

All my life I've been searching for a place to call home

But a gambling man walks alone

Got to have great expectations

To get through the day (get through the day)

There's a better life out there for me

I'll find my own way (find my own way)

Too many stages everybody's

Swaying to the radio

And if it were to end tomorrow

I got to taste it all

And now I just stand alone

Paid my dues to prove you wrong

All my life I've been searching for a place to call home

But a gambling man walks alone

Question my toughness

Been there & back

Raked over the coals

I ran with the pack

Smooth operator fooled us now

Is there justice at all

(Guitar lead)

And now I just stand alone

Paid my dues to prove them wrong

All my life I've searching for a place to call home

But a gambling man walks alone

And now I just stand alone

Paid my dues to sing this song

All my life I've been searching for a place to call home

But a gambling man walks alone
