Ain't Much Left of Me Lyrics
Hey
Well, my fall from grace was a sight to see
Good turned to bad and bad turned to misery
I found out what it is and what it's not
And all I asked for sure ain't what I got, no
Well, I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil til I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey, I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well, I'm still holding on
And there ain't much left of me, no baby
Thought that I'd hit bottom but I ain't there yet
Cause you'd be surprised at how low a man can get
I watched all them dreams slip through my hands
Now, I'm getting outta here while I still can, oh
Well, I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil til I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey, I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well, I'm still holding on
And there ain't much left of me, that's right, mama
Well, my fall from grace was a sight to see
Nobody even cared what became of me
Do I have to get down on my knees?
And ask the lord above, "Have mercy, please."
Well, I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil til I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey, I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well, I'm still holding on
Well, there ain't much left of me, no
Well, well, there ain't much left of me
I said there ain't much left of me, no
Yeah, well, there ain't much left of me, oh
Good turned to bad and bad turned to misery
I found out what it is and what it's not
And all I asked for sure ain't what I got, no
Danced with the devil til I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey, I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well, I'm still holding on
And there ain't much left of me, no baby
Cause you'd be surprised at how low a man can get
I watched all them dreams slip through my hands
Now, I'm getting outta here while I still can, oh
Danced with the devil til I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey, I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well, I'm still holding on
And there ain't much left of me, that's right, mama
Nobody even cared what became of me
Do I have to get down on my knees?
And ask the lord above, "Have mercy, please."
Danced with the devil til I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey, I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well, I'm still holding on
Well, there ain't much left of me, no
Well, well, there ain't much left of me
I said there ain't much left of me, no
Yeah, well, there ain't much left of me, oh

I write this 1 year after losing my wife to divorce and my son to an unexpected death.
"Well my fall from grace was a site to see"
Yeah, that was me, and I can't tell you how many times I've prayed for mercy.
I got married, had a child and was on top of the world. I had the career, money, house, etc. Then "good turned to bad and bad turned to misery". I lost it all due to forces I have yet to understand. Onset of mental illness in your partner is terrifying. Left me with my own depression and PTSD (due to my son's death). And there really isn't much left of the pre-March 2015 me. But I am still holding on.
And yeah, I sure as fuck "found out what it is and what it's not". The perspective I have now compared to 16 months ago is amazing. Talk about not sweating the small stuff..
P.S -
If I wrote the song I would change the lyric:
"Barely held together by a few old threads"
to
"Barely held together by a few old friends"
I couldn't have made it through this time without my people.
