Lyrics: I've been sittin' here tryin' to find myself I get behind myself, I need to rewind myself Lookin' for the payback, listen for the playback They say that every man bleeds just like me And I feel like number one, yet I'm last in line I watch my youngest son and it helps to pass the time I take too many pills that helps to ease the pain I made a couple dollar bills, still I feel the same Everybody knows my name they say it way out loud A lot of folks fuck with me, it's hard to hang out in crowds I guess that's the price you pay to be some big shot like I am Outstretched hands and one night stands, still I can't find love And when your walls come tumblin' down I will always be around And when your walls come tumblin' down I will always be around People don't know 'bout the things I say and do They don't understand about the shit I've been through It's been so long since I've been home I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long Maybe I've forgot all the things I miss Oh, somehow I know there's more to life than this I've said it too many times and I still stand firm You get what you put in and people get what they deserve Still I ain't seen mine No, I ain't seen mine I've been givin', just ain't been gettin' I've been walkin' that there line So, I think I'll keep walkin' with my head held high I keep movin' on and only God knows why Only God, Only God, Only God knows why Only God knows why, why, why Only God knows why Take me to the river, ey Won't you take me to the river, hey, hey, yeah #OfficialMusicVideo #KidRock #OnlyGodKnowsWhy #WeAreWarnerRecords

    @lisatyndall8524 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 cirrhosis yesterday. Ive never drank or done drugs but a lot of different things can cause this. This battle begins.
    i beat breast cancer at the beginning of the year. People get what they deserve. I aint seen mine but maybe i will. Only god knows why.
    i wanted to give an update. First of all, thank you all for the prayers and well wishes!
    i went today for an endoscopy and found that the blood vessels in my esophagus are slightly enlarged due to the cirrhosis and i am being put on blood pressure medicine to hopefully stop them from getting worse. My cirrhosis started as fatty liver disease. I am working to get and keep my weight down along with keeping my sugar under control. The damage was done to my liver years ago when i was a considerable amount bigger. Hopefully, with gods grace, i will keep on keeping on!
