I wrote this song some years ago, figured it was time to re-record it and put it back up on youtube. Hope ya'll like it. I wrote this song after reading Johnny Cash's first autobiography and reading about his cycle of taking barbiturates and amphetamines.


Lyrics:
You were looking to find another way to fly
You thought it couldn't hurt if you just give it a try
Now the bloodshot in your eyes tell the story o so well
of the time you spent flyin through hell

And the uppers and the downers will start messing with your mind
You'll think that your a profit when the Devil's on your side
now your looking for the answers in a spiral going down
But you can't fly when your face first under ground

Sometimes we just know but we choose not to believe
Other times just blinded by vices and greed
then you face a situation with two ways to escape
beat the devil or accept a much worse fate

And the uppers and the downers will start messing with your mind
You'll think that your a profit when the Devil's on your side
now your looking for the answers in a spiral going down
But you can't fly when your face first under ground
