Clean on the Other End

Feel the wind blowin’ through my hair…it’s good to be alive. 

Took a wrong turn to get me here, I’m lucky I survived. 

I walked a cracked and crooked road; a path I paved alone. 

Sold my soul for a sack of gold and lost my way back home. 

An angel on my shoulder said you’re easily deceived. 

The devil whispering in my ear kept tugging on my sleeve. 

I lived the life of a wanted man as I crawled through hell and back again. 

I had to come out clean on the other end.

There’s a girl where the guilt still stings; she washed away my fears. 

Stole her heart and her diamond rings and traded them for tears. 

Hit the highway for western skies a bandit on the run. 

Took the poison and paid the price a wise guy playin’ dumb. 

I filled up all my days and nights with empty alibis. 

The only truth I ever told was that I’m prone to lies.

If heaven waits will the let me in when the judge and jury count my sins? 

I hope I come out clean on the other end. Clean on the other end. 



The verdict’s in, yeah, I’ve made mistakes an easy fix can be hard to break. 

You’ll find yourself when the feeling’s gone. 

The pleasure stops but the pain drags on and on. 

Yes, on my grave my epitaph might say “We told ya’ so.” 

The boy who planned the prison break with one week left to go. 

Yes, I gave in, and I took a chance then the cookie jar it bit my hand 

That’s how I came out clean on the other end. 

I hope you come out clean on the other end.
