Now I live in a little room, out in the country behind a bar, work
four nights a week, and in between I drink. And there ain't
nobody there to stop me. I know who I am. And after all these
years, there's a victory in that.

Someone once told me, ‘‘Time is a flat circle.’’ Everything we've
ever done or will do we're gonna do over and over and over
again. And that little boy and that little girl, they're gonna be in
that room again...and again...and again...forever.

certainty that things will be different.

That you'll move to another city and meet the people that'll
be the friends for the rest of your life...that you'll fall in love
and be fulfilled.
