Lyrics
TURN IT OVER
By Matt Ward c2002 ASCAP
Well I don?t know why I feel this way
Seems I had a plan and it went so grand just the other day
Well it seems like now I?m on the run
On the fringes of the life I loved with everyone
When the love is gone and you can?t go on
Turn it over `cause it?s out of your hands
Turn it over `cause you can?t understand
When the love is gone and you can?t go on
Turn it over; turn it over
Aw listen on up he?s so confused
He?s running out of stories now that he can use
What did he just say? I bet he can?t recall
He?s got a thousand old excuses and he?s used them all
CHORUS
Mom and Dad just rack their brains
How could their baby boy shoot junk into his veins
Now he bides his time inside a cell
With no good time friends from way back when to wish him well
CHORUS
