Lyrics

There was a time in my life I had plenty of something
I don't know what it was, I only know it's gone
Memories of the days I thought would be mine
grow ever bitter with time, but I'm strong
and the faith I reside somewhere still inside
keeps me hanging on

So just sit with me baby
and give me some time
and look hard at me darling
and maybe you'll find
that thing of mine

I've done my time all alone
I've felt like a rolling stone
I let some trains go by
and as I grow I know how I've been wrong
but lately I've been feeling
like I might be worth a woman calling home

So just sit with me baby
and give me some time
and look hard at me darling
and maybe you'll find
that thing of mine

And when I finally see the light
I swear I'll pull with all my might
I know I lost a couple rounds
but I'm still hungry for the fight

So if you'll sit with me baby
and give me some time
and look hard at me darling
and maybe you'll find
that thing of mine
