[Intro - atmospheric pads, filtered beat] [Verse - light breakbeat] [Verse] What can I say? I'm a bastard born My skin is dirt My clothes are torn I seek redemption in a place Where women They look down on me They always got somethin' to say About what my pa did back in the day I take their insults with a smile Because I know in a little while [Pre-Chorus] They'll be begging me to stay [Chorus] Oh Where do the hours go? And who can you call when you need a hand? Oh Nobody knows the woes The troubles of a lowly man [Verse 2] She was a sweet young thing Like a rose in bloom And she had a thing For the boys with dirt on their shoes And when I heard her sing I was over the moon She taught me a thing or two And I never did go back to school [Pre-Chorus] Now I hear 'em say [Chorus] Oh Where do the hours go? And who can you call when you need a hand? Oh Nobody knows the woes The troubles of a lowly man [Bridge] Where do the hours go? And who can you call when you need a hand? Oh Nobody knows the woes The troubles of a lowly man [гитарное соло] [Verse 3] I always had to learn the hard way I never liked it in the classroom Always got in trouble for the things I'd say But that's all over now Because I got a pretty little lady And she makes it worth my while She makes my heart go crazy She drives my brain wild [Pre-Chorus] Now I hear 'em say
