Look inside the mirror, but I don't know who I see.
Smoke another cigarette, a smile holds back the tears.
These contradictions seem to be the story of my life.
A simple man with memories of those long lost golden days.
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway.

Mistakes I've made remind me of the roads I shouldn't choose.
Never comes that easy when you've nothing left to lose.
I can't see the answers, tell me why am I so blind?
A tired man, I'll make the best of another lonely day.
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway.

Misaway, yeah.
Never thought I'd make it just from playin my guitar.
Just a little smile always shelters me from pain.
Every time I start to slide, I wish upon a star.
The sun comes out and dries up all the rain.

I'm an honest man who refused the shade on a hot and lonely day.
I close my eyes and dream my life away.
Now I know that I can stop the rain.
Close my eyes and slowly driftaway.
Close my eyes and dream my life away.
