|
I gotta brand new car that drinks a bunch a gas |
|
Got a house in a neighborhood thats fading fast |
|
Got a dog and a cat that don't fight too much |
|
Got a few hundred channels to keep me in touch |
|
Got a beautiful wife and three tow-headed kids |
|
A couple big secrets |
|
I'd kill to keep hid |
|
I don't God but i fear his wrath |
|
I'm trying to keep focused on the righteous path |
|
I've got a couple of opinions that |
|
I hold dear |
|
Got a whole lotta debt and a whole lotta fear |
|
Got a grill in the backyard and a case of beers |
|
Got a boat that ain't seen the water in years |
|
More bills than money |
|
I can do the math |
|
I'm trying to keep focused on the righteous path |
|
I'm trying to keep focus as |
|
I drive down the road |
|
On the ditches and the curves and the heavy load |
|
Ain't bitchin about things that ain't in my grasp |
|
Just trying to hold steady on the righteous path |
|
I gotta friend of mine that |
|
I've known all my life |
|
Who can't get it right no matter how hard he tries |
|
He's got kids he don't see and several ex wivesand a list of bad decisions bout 80 miles wide |
|
Trouble with the law and the |
|
IRSWhere he'll get the money is anybody's guess |
|
He's a long way off but if you was to ask |
|
He'll say |
|
I'm trying to stay on the righteous path |
|
We are trying to keep focused as we drive down the roadlike back in highschool before the world turned cold |
|
Now the brakes are thin and the curves are fast |
|
Just trying to hold steady on the righteous path |
|
We're hanging out and we're hanging onwe're trying our best we can to keep on keeping on |
|
We got messed up minds for these messed up times |
|
And it's a thin thin line |
|
Separating his from mine |
|
I'm trying to keep focused on the righteous path80 miles an hour with a worn out mapno time for self pity or a load of crap |
|
Just trying to keep steady on the righteous path |
