chris rea - still trying to clear my name

You heard all the stories
You heard what they say
This stuff's so outdated
I can't believe I have to live this way
There's been so many seasons
Years of thunder fire and rain
So many years since I got free
And I'm still trying to clear my name
Still trying to clear my name

Like an old prize-fighter
everybody wants to punch
i even try to take a fall sometimes
just to get back to my lunch
I get it so many times
I swear I'll go insane
So many years now since I got framed
And I'm still trying to clear my name

Let me tell you it's getting closer
Closer by the day
I'm loosing my soul
When I'm hearing what they say
I try to be polite
I try to smile
And walk away
Sometimes it gets me so bad
I'm gonna loose it in a big way

So many years
Since I've gone straight
So many years of shame
And I'm still trying to clear my name
