If you ever see me walking down the side of the road Would 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
If I ever get home I'm never gonna worry 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, I've raised my glass
'Cause 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' with her in the park, just 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, starving to death
Well, everybody's troubled with your hustle and your bustle Your payment on your house is late If I ever have a problem like it, I guess I'll be in pretty good shape You can kiss my ass goodbye
When I feel the wind blow, I see a ghost in the road And headlights are a beautiful sight And out in the desert, I could sit on up in heaven And the sun keeps 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 hearin' now is something I found Hidin' way down inside 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, don't take 'em wrong I haven't been home in a while, I'll see you all around
