If you ever see me walking down the side of the road Do you ever stop and wonder why Would you think it's lost that I paid the cost Stop and give a poor boy a ride And forget my past
'Cause if I ever get home, I'm never gonna worry 'bout the things that I could've done 'Cause I've done a lot of things I could've done better But now it don't matter none
'Cause I've raised my glass
I fell in love and then lost touch I dropped it and broke her heart I drove off a cliff And I barely missed Walkin' days through the park
With a selfish boy
But I have not forgot that the food in the pot ain't cookin' for a boy like me I been fightin' all night with the dogs in the alley, looking for a bone to eat Been starving to death
Everybody's troubled with the hustle and the bustle The payment on the house is late If I ever have a problem like that I guess I'll be in pretty good shape
You can kiss my ass goodbye
'Cause when I feel the wind blow See a ghost in the road And headlights are a beautiful sight
And out in the desert I can sit under them heavens And watch the sun keep settin' for miles
And here comes another song
Then I take a pen and a little piece of paper I scribble on down the lines And what you're hearing now Is something I found Hidin' way down inside
With the cellar of my heart
And I hope everybody had a real good time I hope I didn't bring you down These ain't sad songs So don't take 'em wrong I haven't been home in a while
