Stealers Wheel – Back On My Feet Again lyrics

(Egan)

Well, I used to sit the whole night just like a stone,
I could not move anywhere.
Everyone was talking, everyone but me,
I didn't know why I was there.

Now I'm just glad to see the end...
I'm back on my feet again, though it took so long,
I'm back on my feet again, and I'm moving on.
I've been through the hard times, but now I'm winning the fight,
I'm back on my feet again, and it's all right.

Well, I tried so hard to listen, still I could not hear,
I just had to hide myself away.
Everyone was talking, everyone but me,
I didn't know what I was supposed to say.

Now I'm just glad to see the end...
I'm back on my feet again, though it took so long,
I'm back on my feet again, and I'm moving on.
I've been through the hard times, but now I'm winning the fight,
I'm back on my feet again, and it's all right.
