GROUND ZERO

(Written by Jeff Ridler)

Verse

I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST LOVED YOU

AND HOW YOU SAID, YOU LOVED ME TOO

BUT THE BEST LAYED PLANS OF MAN SOMETIMES

ARE DICE THAT JUST WON’T ROLL

AINT THAT HOW THE STORY GOES

CHORUS

IT’S MORE LIKE STANDIN THERE AT GROUND ZERO

OR HANGIN LIKE A THREAD LIKE SOME DAMNED HERO

GUILTY AS SIN AT THE SWINGIN DOORS

BUT NOT THE KIND THAT TAKES YOU VERY FAR

LIKE INTO A BAR LOOKING FOR HEAVEN

HELL AINT FAR TAKING AND A GIVING

PLAYIN WITH FIRE AND WILD WOMEN

YOU’LL GET BURNED LEARING WHILE YOUR LIVING

AND SO THE STORY GOES .… GOES

Verse

I GOT MYSELF A NEW LOVE AND A NEW START

SURELY I COULD KEEP YOU OUT OF MY HEART

BUT CHANGING NAMES AND CHANGING GAMES

BRINGS YOU DOWN SO LOW

YOU WOULD THINK BY NOW I’D KNOW

CHORUS

Verse

I DECIDED NOT TO GO FOR THE GOLD

I’D BE BETTER OFF WITH NO ONE TO HOLD

THEN I GAVE YOU A CALL ONE NIGHT … AFTER LAST CALL

HE PICKED UP & I TOOK THE FALL

I WAS…

CHORUS
