Walter Egan like a nail when it s bent

Useless and spent, like a nail when it’s bent
Just about put to bed
Like a book that’s been read
Uncertain and vexed don’t know what’s coming next
I’m a leaf in the wind
Don’t know where I’ll land
I can’t excuse it
I feel so corrupt
Even my music
Just can’t get me up
I can’t figure out what it’s all been about
Useless and spent, like a nail when it’s bent
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe life’s like a song
Though the record’s been played
The melody stayed
