I wish I knew what to expect
When I spread my wings and leave the nest
I wish I knew the time of death
When I would take my last breath
I wish I could say I have no regrets
But to so many people I owe a debt
I look in the mirror and I see a stranger
This man I see Is just a dog in a manger
I ask myself what have I become
From being one of the greats to just a bum
I take two steps forward but three steps back
Just like an addict trying to get off crack
And just when I think that I've made it out
They step on my little camp fire and put it out
