I'm from Buffalo New York the city of good Neighbors
But I grew up in the state of blue bonnets and Blue Bell
Like a good ol' Texas boy sweatin tears from hard labor
And choosing your friends wisely will keep you out of jail
Well I thought i had it but I threw it all away
Right down to the bottom but that's not where I stayed
Never think about tomorrow only whats goin on today
And that devil tries to lead you astray and I began to pray
Well I've been down this road a time or two
And I had some bad days and good ones too
Life will throw you in the crossroads from time to time
Im only asking you God to keep me on a straight line
Several years have gone by
And I've endured some good change
But my dreams all start to die
Like they're so far out of range
And my friends they're all gone
In the pin or 6 feet down
But my family I can count on
With them there's common ground
I'm sorry mom and dad
Guess you're son is choosin bad
Im always on the run
Sellin drugs with a loaded gun
I've takin a turn for the worse
Them drugs are no joke yeah it gets you like a curse
Well I've been down this road a time or two
And I had some bad days and good ones too
Life will throw you in the crossroads from time to time
Im only asking you God to keep me on a straight line
Now I'm lookin in the rearview
What has happened to me
After all that I've been through
This is my reality
"Well, three days later in the same hospital bed
Guess who's alive and far from dead
And that same doctor that said I can go in my sleep
He can't even explain how I'm back on my feet"
Well I've been down this road a time or two
And I had some bad days and good ones too
Life will throw you in the crossroads from time to time
Im only asking you God to keep me on a straight line
Yeah I've been down this road once before
