Lyrics
DONE DOIN? TIME
1. I?m doin? a total one-eighty
Turning this downward spiral around
Got so much to live for, and too much to lose
Won?t turn myself in to heartache and blues
2. Ain?t waiting for no one to save me
I?m fin?lly convinced I can stand on my own
These limitations I?d put on myself
Are staying right here in this cold prison cell
CHORUS
Clearing my head of bad memories
That pile of old baggage ain?t coming with me
Gonna break off these shackles and leave?em behind
I?m done doin? time in the prison of my mind
BRIDGE
And so what if I?ve got some battlescars out in the open
I?ve got a lifetime of good times to catch up on
Can?t believe how much time I?ve wasted without even knowin?
Life is too short to cover the ground that?s collapsed under your feet
Move on
CHORUS REPEAT X 2
Clearing my head of bad memories
That pile of old baggage ain?t coming with me
Gonna break off these shackles and leave?em behind
I?m done doin? time in the prison
Clearing my head of bad memories
That pile of old baggage ain?t coming with me
Gonna break off these shackles and leave?em behind
I?m done doin? time in the prison of my mind
