Off work at ten Then off to a friends Any thing to keep from going home I've seen these streets my whole damn life Barely made it out alive Push the car to eighty on the backroads Stop by Willy's on a Monday night Always leave flying high as a kite And try to drive the way that the cops don't go Liza hits me up real late at night When we dated all we did was fight I guess she's feeling lonely And she wants me to know I wish someone told it'd be like this But no one could've told me it'd be like this When I was a boy I worried bout chores And tying my shoes tight To show up on time Try not to wine And get all my prayers right Now I'm always stressed out Running round' Looking for another town To saddle up and settle down I really miss my pops He used to be as strong as Fort Knox Had arms of steel and a heart of gold We took a drive up to lone pine That man could give some damn good advice He knew me better than whiskey knows ice And he told me so I wish he could've told me it'd be like this But no one could've told me it'd be like this When I was a boy I worried bout chores And tying my shoes tight To show up on time Try not to wine And get all my prayers right Now I'm always stressed out Running round' Looking for another town To saddle up and settle down I watched the stars collide I saw an old love die While new loves burn From the look in her eyes The fires turned to ice And the river run dry The river run dry I wish someone told it'd be like this But no one could've told me it'd be like this When I was a boy I worried bout chores And tying my shoes tight To show up on time Try not to wine And get all my prayers right Now I'm always stressed out Running round' Looking for another town To saddle up and settle down
