Count Me Out Lyrics

(G. Brooker / I. Sutherland) 



When it's time for me to go 

and I hear that whistle blow 

I'll be waiting in line day or night 

Take my hand and lead me down 

Lay my burden on the ground 

Break these chains and let me stand in the light 

Now I know what the game's all about 

If that's the way you want to play - count me out 



Had enough of alibis, empty promises and lies 

Trying to find a better life on my own 

There's no easy way I know - now the strains begin to show 

Still I'm looking for a light to lead me home 

Though my heart's still full of doubt - 

There's no way I'm gonna play - so count me out 



I've been too long here breaking my back 

Doing my best to get through 

I never thought I could feel this way 

But I need to find something new 

It's not the money and it's not the gold 

- I just want some peace of mind 

My life is racing like a runaway train 

Getting faster all the time... 



Underneath a golden sky 

Far away I'm gonna fly 

To a place I know is there in my mind 

Like a sailor home to die 

With no journey left to try 

Throw my spirit in the tide and lead me blind 

Now I know what this game's all about 

If that's the way you wanna play 

Then count me out
