(G. Brooker / I. Sutherland)
|
When it's time for me to go
|
and I hear that whistle blow
|
I'll be waiting in line day or night
|
Take my hand and lead me down
|
Lay my burden on the ground
|
Break these chains and let me stand in the light
|
Now I know what the game's all about
|
If that's the way you want to play - count me out
|
Had enough of alibis, empty promises and lies
|
Trying to find a better life on my own
|
There's no easy way I know - now the strains begin to show
|
Still I'm looking for a light to lead me home
|
Though my heart's still full of doubt -
|
There's no way I'm gonna play - so count me out
|
I've been too long here breaking my back
|
Doing my best to get through
|
I never thought I could feel this way
|
But I need to find something new
|
It's not the money and it's not the gold
|
- I just want some peace of mind
|
My life is racing like a runaway train
|
Getting faster all the time...
|
Underneath a golden sky
|
Far away I'm gonna fly
|
To a place I know is there in my mind
|
Like a sailor home to die
|
With no journey left to try
|
Throw my spirit in the tide and lead me blind
|
Now I know what this game's all about
|
If that's the way you wanna play
|
Then count me out
|

Count Me Out
