Well you played your cards and showed your coins
Raised some hell and made some noise
And Lord knows you burned your candle at both ends
Yeah you spent your bottom dollar twice
On anything to get you high
Are you playing the odds or just playing pretend
Here you go again
You say goodbye, keep on running through the same red lights
Rubber to the road and the dang headlights
They always find a highway to anywhere out of here
You got so close got caught swimming in the undertow
Of whiskey women and a cloud of smoke
It ain't that hard to do
You get lost living like you ain't got nothin to lose, ooh yeah
Like you ain't got nothin to lose
Well you hit your knees and you say your prayers
Even if there's no-one there
You scream up at the sky until it rains
Yeah and then the right one comes around
And you swear that you'll settle down
Hell you even believe that this time you can change
But you're still the same
You say goodbye, keep on running through the same red lights
Rubber to the road and the dang headlights
They always find a highway to anywhere out of here
You got so close got caught swimming in the undertow
Of whiskey women and a cloud of smoke
It ain't that hard to do
You get lost living like you ain't got nothin to lose, ooh yeah
Like you ain't got nothin to lose
Hmm you started with nothing that turned into something
And all of the sudden you start running
What the hell's wrong with you
Boy what's going on with you
Yeah I started with nothin and it turned into something
And all of a sudden I started running
What the hell's wrong with me
Yeah is this how it's always gonna be
I say goodbye, keep on running through the same red lights
Rubber to the road and them dang headlights
They always find a highway to anywhere out of here
I got so close got caught swimming in the undertow
Of whiskey women and the cloud of smoke
It ain't that hard to do
You get lost living like you ain't got nothin to lose
Yeah like you ain't got nothin to lose
Mmm nothin to lose
