That Wrecking Ball

I'm takin' to leanin' these past few days
A little too heavy on my wakin' cane
'Cause I'm afraid she's swingin' my way
That wreckin' ball

Now, with all my ducks in a row
With one pull, I can let 'em go
Not to lose, just to show
I could catch them all

But every man bears a burden some beast by the horns
That he hides from the world when he's young 'n' strong
Lookin' over his shoulder half-tethered and torn
Still standing tall

And every year rolls on, like a runaway train
Every bistro's stronger as the pendulum swings
To and fro, and on she goes
That wrecking ball

I just seen that Rock of Ages
I just tell my Savior's hand
We danced underwater
With my head on my shoulders
She swore to never let me fall

That was a time seemed so kindly
If every bright-eyed girl could be more like you
Shelter me from that wrecking ball
That wreckin' ball
