[Verse 1]
|
I like fast cars, and shop grease
|
chased a lot of crazy things
|
left behind my share of broken pieces
|
this morning I turned 36, and you just remember half of it
|
you wonder how you out-lived Hank and Jesus
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder
|
but you kept me from goin' under,
|
when that current got too heavy
|
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
|
in a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal
|
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy
|
Fear, I've had none
|
what the hell made you want to love
|
a man, who was gonna die young
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
In the mirror, I saw my surprise
|
when those gray hairs like to hide, on my head
|
didn't think he'd live past thirty
|
If I make it thirty more, it's the brown that you'll be looking for
|
as you run your fingers through, say "slow down, honey"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder
|
but you kept me from goin' under,
|
when that current got too heavy
|
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
|
in a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal
|
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy
|
Fear, I've had none
|
what the hell made you want to love
|
a man, who was gonna die young
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Call it intuition, or call it crazy
|
just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies
|
but I'd gladly stick around if we're together
|
So baby when you bow your head tonight
|
could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind?
|
And with you I'd like to live, well...
|
