I’m just a renegade, a lonesome renegade
Hidin’ in the shadows, slippin’ on thin ice
Caught in a crossfire between the day and night
Cut lose from the lower realms
Now I’m runnin’ for my life
Rock bottom, rock bottom
It’s not your fault I gave myself two black eyes
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Cannot help but hopin’ together we will fly
Cannot help but hopin’ together we will fly
Every single day, I fall into a rut
Every bite I eat just rumbles in my gut
Every part I play is just a play apart
Of how to always get it wrong, and how to never get it right
And lose before you start
Rock bottom, rock bottom
It’s not your fault I gave myself two black eyes
Rock bottom, rock bottom
Cannot help but hopin’ together we will fly
Once I had a heart throb, her name was Emily
Never would that sweet thing take me seriously
I bought tickets for a cruise ship to sail upon the sea
She jumped right off that gang plank and she waved good-bye to me
And if you lost your Emily, if you lost your home
If we’re kicked out in the street where the hit-dog howls and moans
That don’t mean it’s over friend, each day’s a brand new deal
Oh that don’t mean it’s over, each day’s a brand new deal
From crawl to walk, to run to jump
From crawl to walk, to run to jump, to fly, fly, fly, fly
We’re gonna fly, fly, fly, fly
Rock bottom, rock bottom
It’s not your fault I gave myself two black eyes
Rock bottom, rock bottom,
Cannot help but hopin’
Oh cannot help but hopin’
Together we’re gonna fly
We’re gonna fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
