0:10I never get lonely
0:13I get these ghosts to keep me company
0:16I took the rearview off of this old Ford
0:19So I only see in front of me
0:22Now the past is out of sight and out of mind
0:27Swore I changed, now I'm back chasing these white lines
0:32I'm just a long-haired son of a sinner
0:38Searching for new ways I can get gone
0:43I'm a pedal to the highway
0:46If you ever wonder why we write these songs
0:54'Cause I'm only one drink away from the devil
1:00I'm only one call away from home
1:05Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle
1:08I guess I'm just a little right and wrong
1:17These backroads got me
1:20These pills pretend to be my friend
1:23I'm done for the last time
1:26I'm lying to myself again
1:29I always say that
1:31Now I'm on my way back here somehow
1:36I should know by now
1:39I'm just a long-haired son of a sinner
1:45Searching for new ways I can get gone
1:50I'm a pedal to the highway
1:53If you ever wonder why we write these songs
2:01'Cause I'm only one drink away from the devil
2:07I'm only one call away from home
2:12Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle
2:15I guess I'm just a little right and wrong
2:20♪
2:25Mistakes I made, I paid for them in cash
2:28Walked a million miles on broken glass
2:31I'm feeling like I'm fading
2:33My heart's been slowly breaking
2:36Might pop a pill and smoke and maybe drink
2:39Talk to God and tell Him what I think
2:42At first He's gonna hate me
2:45But eventually He'll save me
2:46I'm just a long-haired son of a sinner
2:52Searching for new ways I can get gone
2:57I'm a pedal to the highway
3:00If you ever wonder why we write these songs
3:08'Cause I'm only one drink away from the devil
3:14I'm only one call away from home
3:19Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle
3:22I guess I'm just a little right and wrong
3:27♪
