One Leg

Sam Hart


I woke up with one leg
less than I used to have
and now I'm on fire
I twist and I scream
until I dream again

I woke up with one leg
and it hurts like hell
but everything's quiet
if I can get to sleep
i will feel no pain

I heard you say this way is better
you've cut me down to half a man
I know you think you saved me
oh poor baby
but you've left me just one leg
on which to stand

I woke up with one leg
now it's all I have
to keep me from fallin
I still hold the scar
where you held your blade

now everyone's laughin
as I spin around
and look for salvation
but i never ever win
when I play your game

I woke up with one leg
less than I used to have
and now I'm on fire
I twist and I scream
until I dream again
