Still Trying to Clear My Name - Chris Rea

You heard all the stories

You heard what they say

This stuff’s so outdated

I can’t beleive I have to live this way

There’s been so many seasons

Years of thunder fire and rain

So many years since I got free

And I’m still trying to clear my name

Still trying to clear my name

Like an old prize-fighter

everybody wants to punch

i even try to take a fall sometimes

just to get back to my lunch

I get it so many times

I swear I’ll go insane

So many years now since I got framed

And I’m still trying to clear my name

Let me tell you it’s getting closer

Closer by the day

I’m loosing my soul

When I’m hearing what they say

I try to be polite

I try to smile

And walk away

Sometimes it gets me so bad

I’m gonna loose it in a big way

So many years

Since I’ve gone straight

So many years of shame

And I’m still trying to clear my name
