The Blacksheep - Thirty Years Lyrics

These walls of despair are closin' in on me
I don't see no hope of changes
I don't see no hope for me
So I just keep on workin'
Slaving everyday
Keep lookin' for redemption
Lookin' for some way to repay

Forty years I've been wandering in the wilderness of life
Forty years I've been stranded in the desert of my strife
Forty years now I traveled
The feelings that I've felt
Forty years have come and gone
I play the cards I was dealt

Once I fell in love with the girl
That I made my wife
She left me for another and
It damned near took my life

So I went to this doctor
Said he could help me with my head
Make me feel so much better
Forget the things she said

So I drank down his potions
Swallowed up his lies
Didn't get any better
Wasn't all that surprised

So I cried out salvation
Jesus save me please
Just the captain of this ship of fools
Sailing the seas of cheese

Forty years I've been stuck here
Lookin' for a way
Forty years I've been searchin'
Still get lost now everyday
Forty years of this madness
Burned into my soul
Forty years of living in a world
So dark and icy cold
