Throwing in the Towel

Lyrics

[DARREL] Soda, I'm really a mess Every night I worry myself to sleep While you're watching cartoons There ain't nothing I can do for you I know that Ponyboy's really got a damn good heart Something 'bout him that really could take him far But I keep holding him down I've run this family right into the ground Maybe you'd be best without me I don't know what else to say I lost our brother and I lost my way I think a fool could'a done better Maybe I've been afraid to say That I'm just not cut out for this Just another failure on a growing list And it's harder now than ever It's more than I can take There ain't no one to bail me out There ain't no saving this now I think I'm throwing in the towel [SODAPOP] On the days when you feel like you're torn in two Making dinner, paying bills that are overdue Think that I don't see? It'd go to hell if it was left up to me And I don't know what we would do if you were not around The one to keep the ship afloat when its going down Darrel, I need you And anyone can see that Pony does too I know you love him That's all you gotta do And I don't know what else to say I know you feel like you've lost your way But I think you're doing better Better than you know [DARREL] If he comes back, there's a price to pay What if they lock our brother away? [SODAPOP] There ain't no way of knowin' We've gotta get our brother home [DARREL, SODAPOP, & PONYBOY] This is the darkest hour of the darkest night Looking up ahead, you can't see no light But the time is now or never There ain't no letting go [SODAPOP] You might feel like you're givin' out We need you more than ever now Don't go throwing in the towel I know your head is full of doubt But brother, that's what love is all about Don't go throwing in the towel [DARREL, SODAPOP, & PONYBOY] When you love someone that's all that you can do There ain't no throwing in the towel
