Ran Out Of Tomorrrows

Boys pull up a chair now

Let your daddy speak true

Been runnin from my shadow

Aint got nothin, left to lose

Thought tomorrow was a promise

Thought the good would circle back

But I woke up empty handed

With a heart turned black

I thought time was a river rollin slow through my hands

But it washed me clean empty like it never gave a damn

I ran out of tomorrows

Just whiskey and sorrow

Thought the good I gave away would find its way back someday

But the nights all I borrowed

Yeah, I ran out of tomorrows

I lifted broken people

Helped em all to their feet

But when my knees finally buckled

There was no one left for me

I swore I change direction

Once the storm rolled past

But the storm turned into years

And the years ran fast

My body still moving, but the spirits off track

And you two are the only part of me that never turned black

I ran out of tomorrows

Just whiskey and sorrow

Thought the good I gave away would find its way back someday

But the nights all I borrowed

Yeah, I ran out of tomorrows

If kindness paid money Id be wealthy and strong

But the world dont write checks for a man who loves wrong

So listen close my boys dont follow my road

'Cause these blues weigh heavy

And theyll break your soul

No house with a porch light

No tires in the drive

Just a suitcase of mistakes, keepin memories alive

The brothers I carried, they all chased the dawn

Left me sittin in the shadows, strung out and withdrawn

Dont spend your young years on a world that wont care

Guard your soul like a treasure, or youll find it aint there

I ran out of tomorrows

No mercy to borrow

I built homes for strangers and lost all my own

Now I drink till I'm hollow

Yeah, I ran out of tomorrows

So hear me my boys

Dont end up cold and alone

Hold close to the ones who love you

Or youll wind up like me

With nothing left but these blues

Don't be like me

Tell him

Don't be like me
