Nothin' to Lose

I was raised on my daddy's anger and my momma's prayer

Learned young that life don't always play fair

Got a gift for the bottle, and a curse for the flame

Swore I'd never die with a no name grave

Playin' for tips and a broke down crowd

Sleep in my truck when the motels out

I miss my babies and I miss my wife

Feel most alive when I'm under those neon lights

Yeah, I've studied the legends, their rise and their fall

Tryin' to stake my claim without losing it all

Don't want the bottle to write my last page

I still got the fire but I've tamed the flame

So I give 'em the truth when I step on the stage

I'm just a worn out soul with somethin' to say

Still payin' the price for the path I choose

I'm just a good ole boy with nothin' to lose

Just a good ole boy with nothin' to lose.

Ain't tryin' to be Waylon or walk a mile in his shoes

Just want a damn shot, got nothin' left to prove

Red clay on my boots and a six string on my side

Calloused hands wrapped around the neck and I close my eyes

Yeah, I've studied the legends, their rise and their fall

Tryin' to stake my claim without losing it all

Don't want the bottle to write my last page

I still got the fire but I've tamed the flame

So I give 'em the truth when I step on the stage

I'm just a worn out soul with somethin' to say

Still payin' the price for the path I choose

I'm just a good ole boy with nothin' to lose

Just a good ole boy with nothin' to lose.

Yeah, I've studied the legends, their rise and their fall

Tryin' to stake my claim without losing it all

I'm just a worn out soul with somethin' to say

Just a good ole boy with nothin' to lose.
