Long Walk Out of the Woods

It's the first day of December, so I roll a joint and think about the year Did I spend days ignoring problems, drinking blindly, running from my fears Or am I accustomed to finding the wrong in the right I do recall, after all, I had a pretty good time By this time next December, will I reminisce on the ones that got away Maybe I'll remember to be better with the words I choose to say That I never needed all this baggage and pain anyway Maybe the same old shit, but it's a brand new day But it's a long walk out of the woods, and I need some shelter Yeah, it's a long walk out of the woods, I might need a little shelter Well, it's a long walk, baby, getting out of the woods I ain't got no destination, but I'm leaving for good It's a long walk out of the woods I've got no resistance for attraction to the neon lights Troubles, it has caused a few, next thing I knew, they were reading me my rights Strike a match and watch these bridges burn Seems it takes the hard way before I learn But it's a long walk out of the woods, and I need some shelter Well, it's a long walk out of the woods, I might need a little shelter Well, it's a long walk, baby, getting out of the woods I ain't got no destination, but I'm leaving for good It's a long walk out of the woods It's the first day of December of the 31st year I've been alive Though broken and busted and beat down, I have survived And when my time has come, don't cry for me Just know that I did it for the story But it's a long walk out of the woods, and I need some shelter Yeah, it's a long walk out of the woods, I might need a little shelter Well, it's a long walk, baby, getting out of the woods I ain't got no destination, but I'm leaving for good It's a long walk out of the woods It's a long walk out of the woods
