WELL I WOKE UP LATE
BUT JUST IN TIME
TO GRAB MY SUIT
AND TIE MY TIE
I RAN DOWN THE STAIRS
TO CATCH MY RIDE
WITH NO WORSE REASON
FOR A SATURDAY MORNING DRIVE
WE STARTED OUT LATE
BUT WE GOT THERE JUST IN TIME
AND YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
YOU’RE ALL TIED AWAY
I GUESS NO ONE HAD HEARD FROM YOU
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS
BUT THAT’S NOTHING NEW
NO THAT’S NOTHING STRANGE
IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALL
JUST YOUR HANDWRITING CHANGED
AND I NEVER THOUGHT I’D FIND YOU
INSIDE OF A CHURCH
BUT FROM DIRT YOU WERE BORN
AND TO DIRT YOU HAVE RETURNED
AND YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
YOU’RE ALL TIED AWAY
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A GHOST
WHEN YOUR BROTHER SPOKE
AND OUT TO THE PARKING LOT
WE GATHERED TO SMOKE
AND YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
ALL THE HEARTS YOU’VE BROKE
BUT I KEPT FROM CRYING
TILL I STARTED SHAKING
TURNS OUT IT WAS MORE
THAN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU’VE TAKEN
AND YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
WE’RE ALL TIED AWAY
AND BACK IN THE CAR
AT THE END OF THE DAY
YOU KNOW I COULDN’T BELIEVE
WHAT THE RADIO
PLAYED AND DON’T BELIEVE MICK
WHEN YOU HEAR HIM SAY...
 
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
BUT IF YOU TRY SOMETIMES
YOU KNOW YOU JUST MIGHT FIND
YOU’LL GET WHAT YOU NEED
 
BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT
HE’S EITHER HALF-EMPTY OR HALF-FULL OF SHIT
‘CAUSE NOW THAT I FINALLY KNOW
THAT I NEEDED YOU KID
I CAN’T FORGET THE TIMES WHEN I RAN AND HID
NOW I CAN’T GET WHAT I’LL ALWAYS NEED
IT WAS THUNDER THAT WOKE ME LAST NIGHT
BUT IT WAS YOU WHO WOULDN’T LET ME SLEEP
