We been out here way too long Searching for a brand new song and trying To hold it all together and keep From going crazy off the rails And the honky-tonks I've played them all From shopping malls to concert halls I've done em'
I'm not proud of things I've done But I'm proud of the man that I've become And the goodbyes always come too soon In off the highway hotel rooms you wonder If the chance of living free is just a smoky memory The road is the only place that feels like home
Don't count me out there's a lot of love Left in this heart of mine Don't shoot me down for taking the chance And betting on myself For all the miles between running down my dream I'm just a new old story coming back around
Now the ones who came Before me been up and down these roads The same as me Living just for giving and trying to find a place Where they belong And the women come and the women go They love you but it's only for a while They can't fight the loneliness living with the second best Or the rambling fever deep down in my soul
Don't count me out there's a lot of love Left in this heart of mine Don't shoot me down for taking the chance And betting on myself For all the things I've seen running down my dream I'm just a new old story coming back around Don't count me out there's a lot of love left In this heart of mine
Don't shoot me down For taking the chance and betting on myself For all the miles between running down my dream I'm just a new old story coming back around For all the things I've seen running down my dream I'm just a new old story coming back around
