Spend enough time around
This nowhere small town
Sooner or later you're gonna see what kind of
Trouble can be found

And I was just sixteen
Feelin' ornery and mean
The Lord took two of my friends that year
And left me somewhere in between

And if I run outta that fool's luck
Oh, I'll come out alright
Just as long as you're here by my side

The only sense I can make
After all my mistakes
You were the reason the Lord saw fit to
Keep me safe

You see no thrill was enough
Oh, till I found your touch
To pull me from that path I was on
I just needed your love

And if I run outta that fool's luck
Oh, I'll come out alright
Just as long as you're here by my side

Close calls and close shaves
Barely pullin' out of scrapes
All the while thinkin' a cat couldn't scratch me
But I was just drunk not brave

After all, I went through
To finally bring me to you
Now all those wild years behind me
Well, they just sort of fade out of view

And if I run outta that fool's luck
Oh, I'll come out alright
Just as long as you're here by my side

And if I run outta that fool's luck
Oh, I'll come out alright
Just as long as you're here by my side
