"When My Back Was Against The Wall" lyrics

When My Back Was Against The Wall

When my back was against the wall
She called me names
When I was feeling small
She called me names

Molly said she had to go
It don't seem right
Just when I was feeling low
We had to fight

Don't you know?
Oh, don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?

Gladly I would give
A piece of mind to live
Without her

Gladly I would give
A piece of mind to live
Without her

When my sky was turning grey
She'd bring me down
Couldn't face another day
She'd bring me down

Well, many times she said she'd go
But she would stay
I didn't really think that she would
Go away

Don't you know?
Oh, don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?

Gladly I would give
A piece of mind to live
Without her

Oh, gladly I would give
A piece of mind to live
Without her

When my confidence was low
She'd turn away
Didn't know which way to go
She'd turn away
