Lone Pine

Off work at ten
Then off to a friends
Any thing to keep from going home

I've seen these streets my whole damn life
Barely made it out alive
Push the car to eighty on the backroads

Stop by Willy's on a Monday night
Always leave flying high as a kite
And try to drive the way that the cops don't go

Liza hits me up real late at night
When we dated all we did was fight
I guess she's feeling lonely
And she wants me to know

I wish someone told it'd be like this
But no one could've told me it'd be like this
When I was a boy
I worried bout chores
And tying my shoes tight
To show up on time
Try not to wine
And get all my prayers right
Now I'm always stressed out
Running round'
Looking for another town
To saddle up and settle down

I really miss my pops
He used to be as strong as Fort Knox
Had arms of steel and a heart of gold

We took a drive up to lone pine
That man could give some damn good advice
He knew me better than whiskey knows ice
And he told me so

I wish he could've told me it'd be like this
But no one could've told me it'd be like this
When I was a boy
I worried bout chores
And tying my shoes tight
To show up on time
Try not to wine
And get all my prayers right
Now I'm always stressed out
Running round'
Looking for another town
To saddle up and settle down

I watched the stars collide
I saw an old love die
While new loves burn
From the look in her eyes
The fires turned to ice
And the river run dry
The river run dry

I wish someone told it'd be like this
But no one could've told me it'd be like this
When I was a boy
I worried bout chores
And tying my shoes tight
To show up on time
Try not to wine
And get all my prayers right
Now I'm always stressed out
Running round'
Looking for another town
To saddle up and settle down
