Oh, laugh, laugh, forget about your pastnFight, flight, offer through the nightnWith darkness nipping at your heelsnSharp dressed, you lie and cheat and stealnnHold tight, can't you hear the sound of footstepsnBeating at the groundnYour heartbeat knocking at your chestnYour worst friend just became your bestnnSo don't you cloud itnAnd make no bones about itnYou're never gonna see me 'cause I'm leaving at the crack of dawnnnIt won't be long till the morning sunnI'm waiting for you in the darknBut I won't be therenI won't be therenWhen you come homenYou're on your ownnnOur tears, beers, you're wet behind the earsnSin, grin, I know where you've beennYour jig's up, you never gave a damn about no onenUnless they lend a hand and lift you upnAnd carry you along but then you're gonenWhen you hear another songnAnd now you're back scratching at the doornBut this time there's no one at the storennSo don't come cryingnThis time there's no one buyingnYou're never gonna see me 'cause I'm leaving at the crack of dawnnnIt won't be long till the morning sunnI'm waiting for you in the darknBut I won't be therenI won't be therenWhen you come homenYou're on your ownnnWhen you come homenYou're on your ownnIf I must fall I'm gonna fall on my ownnAnd when I'm awaynI hope you're okaynBut I just can't staynnIt won't be long till the morning sunnI've waited for you in the darknBut I won't be therenI won't be therenWhen you come homenYou're on your ownnnIt won't be long till the morning sunnI've waited for you in the darknBut I won't be therenI won't be therenWhen you come homenYou're on your ownnWhen you come home homenYou're on your ownnYou're on own
