Living In A Song

Well, I've been on this highway, for about eight hours now

If I'm gonna make Ohio, better lay the hammer down

Tonight I'm in Toledo, tomorrow Baltimore

Well, all I thought I ever wanted, well I'm still looking for

Another sip of bourbon, another shot of reality

Every single mile I travel seems to take a year from me

Well, I look in the mirror, I don't know who is standing there

All these lines on my face, and all the gray that's in my hair

Sometimes the pain pours out like rain out of these six strings

Leaning on the low notes when I'm too high to sing

Running hard with a soul that's scarred

Wondering what went wrong

Chasin' down my only dream, living in a song

Hangin' onto secrets, every new day brings

Well, I wonder if my mama cries when she thinks of me

Livin' from a suitcase and sleepin' in the car

And scratchin' out a living in another run down bar

Sometimes the pain pours out like rain out of these six strings

Leaning on the low notes when I'm too high to sing

Running hard with a soul that's scarred

Wondering what went wrong

Chasin' down my only dream, living in a song

Well, I've been on this highway for about eight hours now

If I'm gonna make Ohio, better lay the hammer down
