(crystal bernard/david rhyne)
It used to be easy, now i'm doin' my time
Workin' so hard i got a pain in my side
Runnin' up a hill tryin' to catch my breath
Nowhere to go when i need some rest
Where do i hide, take me away
From this lonely state of mind
I've got to say, it's time to play tonight
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
I've been doing my best but there's one regret
That i live in this state of mind
My phone machine's beeping and it's hurting my head
Twenty-eight messages, i said
People come and go like a thief in the night
Taking my heart, stealing my time
Papers and dreams, what does it mean
When i'm in this state of mind
Polite as i seem, i want to scream inside
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
I've been doing my best but there's one regret
That i live in this state of mind
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
I've been doing my best but there's one regret
That i live in this state of mind
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
I've been doing my best but there's one regret
That i live in this state of mind
