I was never a great puncher of time clocks
I was never the one who had lots
I was only good at one thing, ringing bells, kissing ringsA heart can′t heal once padlocked
I was never meant to be the one who was tedious
I always wanna be the one who leads us
On things that came to mind, never on someone else's dime
As the hunter explains to the fox
And the rain soaking through my coat
About to capsize my boat
I push it a long ′way from the docks
I was never a good puncher of time clocks
As the rain has chilled me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it's locked
I was never a good puncher of time clocks
I was never a teller of stories
Didn′t need to thrive on the glory
It′s about the life of a man, victim time and time again
Hard as hell to get up in the morning
And the rain soaking through my coat
It's about to capsize my boat
I push it a long ′way from the docks
I was never a good puncher of time clocks
As the rain has chilled me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it′s locked
I was never a good puncher of time clocks
Regrets to stoke the fires
Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars
The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps
Too scared to look down in the deep
Make no illusions 'bout your forgone conclusions
Time will set you back, will heal all your wounds
If the darkness sets in, it creeps up on you
Like a man typecast the fool
And the rain soaking through my coat
About to capsize my boat
I push it a long ′way from the docks
I was never a good puncher of time clocks
As the rain has chilled me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it's locked
I was never a good puncher of time clocks, oh
Oh, as the rain has chilled me to the bone
I′m flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it′s locked
I was never a good puncher of time clocks
