Ridin' the streets
stayin' up all night
Drinkin' my drink
and getting' in fights
And tryin' to make my way
back home to you
Thinkin' bout you
but layin' with her
Don't know much
but one thing's for sure
I'm tryin' to make my way
back home to you
But it's gettin' the best of me
Gettin' the best of me
It's a long dark road
And it's getting' the best of me
Workin' all day and playin' in bars
Two dollar whiskeys
and souped up cars
And I'm trying to make my way
back home to you
Savin' my pennies
and spending em' twice
'Gonna buy you a dress
and you'll look real nice
And some day girl
I'm 'gonna want to marry you
But it's gettin' the best of me
Gettin' the best of me
It's a long dark road
And it's getting' the best of me
20 Years later and I'm still alone
Workin' in the mill
and writing these songs
And I change the names
but the songs are all about you
And every word
I write is a cryin' shame
And I'm sittin' here
with myself to blame
Still tryin' to make my way
back home to you
But it's gettin' the best of me
Gettin' the best of me
It's a long dark road
And it's gotten the best of me
