[Verse 1]
I spent most of my life outside in the drivin' rain
I was only tryin' to get by with some of life's amenities
Well, nothin's free
I got more than I bargained for
Now it's plain to see
I can't depend on love to defend me

[Verse 2]
It took most of my time to do what never was done
I was on the outside of an inside kind of love that now is gone
Come right or wrong
It was laid to rest that way
I hate to be unkind
Pretending is for strangers who don't know you

[Verse 3]
I spent most of my life outside in the drivin' rain
I was in some one-horse town just waiting for a plane to take me back
Now where's that at?
I paid the price, well, ain't that nice
Knowin' I'm so free?
I can't depend on love to defend me
I got more than I bargained for
Now it's plain to see
I can't depend on love to defend me
