Something To Hope For

Johnny, I was calling just to tell you that I'm gonna be calling
 I know you hate to be surprised, I want you to be prepared
 I guess the doctor's back in town,
 I heard they're gonna give him clearance
 I see a storm coming up in the distance
 The only kind of dreams you ever seem to have are bad dreams
 The only thing you say you ever really want to do is sleep
 I know that you've been passed around
 You've been hurt so much you're bored
 I want to give you something to hope for
 I got a little something from the state for all of my hassle
 Got little bit more from the guy behind the wheel
 The captain started laughing then the accident, it happened
 Now it's a whole different deal
 The only kind of dreams you ever seem to have are bad dreams
 The only thing you ever say you really want to do is smoke
 I know that you've been passed around
 You've been hurt so much that you're bored
 I'm going to give you something to hope for
 Would you want to take a little drive with me out into the mountains?
 There's nothing here in this town but the ravage of time
 The darkness in the taverns
 And the boys back by the bathrooms
 All the nickels and dimes
 For once in my life I've got a little something here in my pocket
 It feels pretty sweet with a little bit of room to breathe
 I've been keeping up with payments
 Man, I've been managing the pain
 The wheels slide off the highway
 One more minute in this city's gonna give me a breakdown
 One more night in this bar is gonna give me the blues
 An Altima with one headlight out
 Slipping, sliding, spinning 'round
 Johnny, I'm gonna take care of you
 Johnny, I'm gonna to take care of you
 I want to give you something to hope for
 Johnny, I'm gonna be calling
 I wanna give you something to hope for
 I wanna give you something to hope for
 I wanna give you something to hope for
 I wanna give you something to hope for
 I wanna give you something to hope for
