Bob Seger Lyrics for Song: Lock and Load
 Lyrics for Album: It's A Mystery [1995]
 
 
 
 9561>Well I wish I had a nickel
 
 For every time I fell and blamed somebody else
 
 I'd give a ton of money to the ones I've hurt
 
 And I'd still be sittin' pretty well
 
 I've spent years losin' touch of what's right and what's real
 
 Caught up in these missions of my own
 
 And you're tellin' me you think I've done so damn well
 
 While we're sittin' here a thousand miles from home
 
 There's a hole in your wisdom, a hole in your sky
 
 Two holes in your head where the light's supposed to get by
 
 
 
 Time to lock and load
 
 Time to get control
 
 Time to search the soul
 
 And start again
 
 
 
 So many times I've seen chances disappear
 
 I hesitate and watch them slip away
 
 Like the time I fail to spend with the ones I love
 
 And it's gone as sure as yesterday
 
 All these users and fakers, big time takers
 
 Manipulating everyone they see
 
 I get caught up in their schemes and their useless dreams
 
 And the only one I have to blame is me
 
 I get turned 'round and twisted, pulled left and right
 
 I can see where I'm goin', but I can't see the light
 
 
 
 Time to lock and load
 
 Come in from the cold
 
 Take a different road
 
 And start again
 
 
 
 I can sit here, in the back half of my life
 
 And wonder when the other shoe will fall
 
 Or I can stand up, point myself home
 
 And see if I've learned anything at all
 
 Anything at all
 
 
 
 Mediocrity is easy, the good things take time
 
 The great need commitment, right down the line
 
 
 
 Time to lock and load
 
 Come in from the cold
 
 Pay these debts I owe
 
 And start again
 
 
 
 I've been down this road
 
 I've seen things get old
 
 Time to get control
 
 And start it all again
 
 
 
 Time to lock and load
 
 Time to get control
 
 Time to search the soul
 
 And start again
 
 
 
 I've been down this road
 
 I've seen things get old
 
 Stand up, get bold
 
 And start it all again
 
 
 
 Time to lock and load
