lyrics

Give me something to hold on to
I need a reason to stay with you
I'm trying to leave here, but it just don't show
I've been doing it real slow

I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away

I let a woman get the best of me
Still, I'm hanging around so helplessly
I lack the courage to just cut and run
Even after all you've done

I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away

The road is long, it's been calling me
It brings me down onto my knees, yeah

The road is long, it's been calling me
It brings me down onto my knees
Oh yeah

I've been trying to stand up on my own
But being held down here is all I've ever known
I wish that I had a way to make you see
I just want to be free

I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away, yeah, yeah
I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away, yeah, yeah

The road is long (the road is long)
It's been calling me (been callin' me)
It brings me down onto my knees
Lord, I've been crawlin' away

(I've been crawlin' away)
I've been crawlin' away (I've been crawlin' away)
I want to leave today (I've been crawlin' away)
I've been crawlin' away (I've been crawlin' away)
Oh lord

I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away
I've been crawlin' away
(I've been crawlin' away)
