Lyrics
“Back Against the Wall” Music & Lyrics by Eric J. Baker (2010) Got a woman, got a woman; in the twilight, in the dawn Sometimes I think to myself I’m better off alone Sometimes I wanna pack my bags and just get myself gone Most the time I merely find my hands are tied My back’s against the wall Every morning, every morning; I wake early to sell my hopes Work a job that robs me of my conscience and my mind Toilin’ in the turnstiles sure can make a man unkind Every time I look behind it seems I find My back’s against the wall INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE Everyday I run away but only in my mind Turn my back on this and that, leave everything behind Ah, there’s so little time Silver moonlight, silver moonlight softly dancing with my thoughts As I lay me down to sleep, my soul to keep I pray But you can bet there’s still regrets and debts I’ll have to pay Every time I close my eyes I realize My back’s against the wall Every time I close my eyes I realize My back’s against the wall
