"Well, don't lose your mind," she said

"Come back to bed, don't lose your head," she begged

Well, these streets stone cold, you oughta know

They'll sell you out for a dollar, boy, just you wait your time

I'm up for disorder, self-torture, born in a rage

And I'm with your daughter, so call her, do it today

I wouldn't delay for a minute

She's got the words and the tone

All that I need is to hear it

Sunshine, don't lose your mind

I could get clean if I wanted

I'd take it or leave it, I promise

I swear, swear, swear, swear, swear it so

"Don't lose your way," she prays

The bigger your heart, the shorter it lasts, they say

And I've been doing this shit too long, it's a battle

On the beaches, the streets, and the fields, all that I need is a medal

Caught up in the warfare of welfare, whatever the cost

I'm at the border, it's hell here, digging away

I'm numbing the pain when I hear it

The words from the edge of my soul

Or could it be from the spirit?

Sunshine, don't lose your mind

I could get clean if I wanted

I'd take it or leave it, I promise

I swear, swear, swear, swear, swear it so

I could get clean if I wanted

I'd take it or leave it, I promise, promise

"Well, don't lose your mind," she said

I could get clean if I wanted

"Well, don't lose your way," she begged

I'd take it or leave it, I promise

Don't, don't, don't, don't lose your
