I'm like a magnet to some high proof liquor

A song chaser and a pipe dream picker

A short fuse that's got a hairline trigger

That's put me through some hell

Some people say I've got a cheap thrill addiction

And throw stones at my free bird livin'

I brush 'em off like the habits I ain't kickin' 'cause

I know myself too well

The day I hang it up is the day I'm ridin' out

Flying high above what put me in the ground

I got it in my blood, too late to change it now

The day I hang it up is the day they lay me down

I don't mind a little smoke on my jacket

Pretty girl with some underlying baggage

I'm hard-headed with a heart that'll back it, yeah

Just like this cross on my neck

The day I hang it up is the day I'm ridin' out

Flying high above what put me in the ground

I got it in my blood, too late to change it now

The day I hang it up is the day they lay me down

That's the price I'll pay, and I'll take it to the bank

Till I take it to the grave and it's said and done

Everything I believe, these songs, this dream

That rebel in me can't get enough

The day I hang it up is the day I'm ridin' out

Flying high above, put me in the ground

I got it in my blood, too late to change it now

The day I hang it up is the day they lay me down

And then they'll lay me down
