Lyrics

[00:00.51] Broken dreams I'll follow mine
[00:03.45] To the end of my borrowed time
[00:06.01] I've been walking down this road too long
[00:11.18] Got my bags packed and I hit the door
[00:13.92] Then I make a stop at the liquor store
[00:16.42] Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong
[00:21.39] Yeah, through the fights, drama, and heartbreak yeah the winter is cold
[00:25.06] I put my faith in the forgiveness every sinner is owed
[00:27.75] Flashback when we was teens just beginning the road
[00:30.39] Before the lights, camera, and action and the glittering gold
[00:33.12] Before the 'caine spots, before the overdoses and aimed Glocks
[00:36.17] Before my name popped, before the Navigator raindrops
[00:38.82] Before I started back with the bad habits I can't stop
[00:41.74] I said I'd keep going, told you I can't stop
[00:44.75] And that's what made me who I am but it did us in
[00:47.56] You can never see through the clouds my head is in
[00:50.12] I was sick and got addicted to my medicine
[00:52.62] I was a prick, I kept on kicking till they let us in
[00:55.56] And once they let me in the door it was war
[00:57.93] With the world I was sure couldn't go back to before
[01:00.49] Ever since we were kids they said we shouldn't mix
[01:03.62] And at the end we broke something that we couldn't fix
[01:06.37] Broken dreams I'll follow mine
[01:08.37] To the end of my borrowed time
[01:11.18] I've been walking down this road too long
[01:16.48] Got my bags packed and I hit the door
[01:19.25] Then I make a stop at the liquor store
[01:21.91] Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong
[01:26.89] And it all just slips away
[01:28.33] I'm a man among boys that avoid their own truths
[01:30.73] Always down to hang out, afraid of their own noose
[01:33.46] No phone booth, can't change an ugly face
[01:36.41] Tough stand tall then we duck when we gotta chase
[01:39.23] Making up excuses but it's all useless
[01:41.76] When I blame you for the damage that my youth did
[01:44.56] Throwing up the deuces, easier to run away
[01:47.17] Knowing that the rain's always followed by a sunny day
[01:50.10] But a vaca's just a break from reality
[01:52.29] Chasing a fallacy back then you're mad at me
[01:55.17] Casually acting like we don't see the elephant
[01:57.92] In the room but our friends all see the hell we been through
[02:01.29] And we know a truce is irrelevant
[02:03.35] Rip my heart out of my body, there's still a skeleton
[02:06.29] My skull and bones represent a throne
[02:08.92] I'm a stand strong when I move on, holla at me
[02:11.67] Broken dreams I'll follow mine
[02:13.67] To the end of my borrowed time
[02:16.48] I've been walking down this road too long
[02:21.73] Got my bags packed and I hit the door
[02:24.67] Then I make a stop at the liquor store
[02:27.35] Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong
[02:32.14] And it all just slips away
[02:33.76] I used to have nothing at all but my word and my balls
[02:36.63] It's the same thing that took me from nothing dog
[02:39.12] All around the globe till they asked what the fuck is wrong
[02:41.91] What's wrong is everything is real in these fucking songs
[02:44.58] Sometimes I was it was an image to hop out of
[02:47.26] And back into, maybe a gimmick to rock crowds with
[02:49.87] But it's all the truth and it's something I'm not proud of
[02:52.62] Everything I've done but I can't just opt out of
[02:55.29] The pain I have caused, the 'caine, the chopped powder
[02:57.98] The blame belongs to me, this game is not ours though
[03:00.66] Maybe from the dirt then the flowers grow
[03:03.79] Up amongst the weeds since a youngster greed
[03:05.72] Agreed with every need that I need and so the speed
[03:08.91] Will eventually just not be fast enough for me
[03:11.41] It's kind of crazy, once upon a time I was just my momma's baby
[03:15.60] Look at how this ice cold winter when it made me
[03:18.53] When it when it gave me icy cold demeanour?, meaner
[03:22.72] Wifey throws me out, I love her, I need her
[03:25.28] What else can I do except go drink another liter?
[03:28.01] I'm not a follower, I've always been a leader
[03:30.78] I wish I had some inspirational speech to read you
[03:33.58] But I don't, I'm just a failure
[03:35.43] Worshipped like I'm Jesus by some but look at this cross I'm nailed to
[03:39.03] Broken dreams I'll follow mine
[03:41.09] To the end of my borrowed time
[03:44.03] I've been walking down this road too long
[03:49.01] Got my bags packed and I hit the door
[03:51.93] Then I make a stop at the liquor store
[03:54.66] Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong
[03:59.51] And it all just slips away
