I Don't Know

This right here
Is one of the realest songs I ever wrote
And it's dedicated to anybody
Who's ever went through a rough patch in their life
Just know it's not about who you are
Where you came from
It's about how hard you fight
Yeah

Drinkin' on this lonely road
Thinkin' "Man where the time has gone"
Feelin' like I got an empty soul
With no place to call a home
Now do I blame everybody else
Or turn around and blame myself?
Or look high up into the sky
And ask the Lord for a little help
Yeah' chasin' dreams

What I'm thinkin' "What's it really cost?"
Shut up money's good but look at all the time lost
Lot of fans' bright lights have me feelin' like the man
But I know that doesn't really matter
'Cause I know my son just really misses dad
Missed him growin' up and I can never get that back

Apologize now but it doesn't change the fact
That as a father that's the point that hurts the worse
One shot wish I woulda known
With every blessin' there's a curse
Lookin' in the mirror' time to make a change

Drinkin' all the time just to ease the pain
Back against the wall, people pray I fall
Do I stay and fight or do I end it all?
Do I have a choice, do I have a voice?
Do I let it go or do I make a point?
Can I make a change' can I numb the pain?
Is it worth the fame?
I don't know

All these angels on my road
The window pane is all I know
I take my time and rock n roll
But I can't get my mind off I don't know
Aim for the fame, am I diggin' my grave?
This bottle of shine says I don't know
It's the name of the game
Like a moth to the flame
This bottle of shine says I don't know

I've been tryna figure out for the life of me
Am I ever gonna make it, will I ever be
Everything that they told me I wouldn't be?
Can I make another song that'll better me?
All these hours on the road will they ever lead to gold?
Will they ever take my soul to the bright light?

Will I ever really know
What I really owe for the night life
And the life' and the bright lights?
See, I leave it all at home when I pull away
Look at pictures on my phone when I shoulda stayed
Sip a bottle of Jack to pull the pain away
And make another mistake when I shoulda prayed

These whiskey sours are killin' on my tomorrows
And I'm tryna make it better
But all of my time is borrowed
Had 'em lost in a world full of money and debt
And I hate all the weight that I put on my chest
When I leave my son at home think of all that I miss
I can never get it back and I feel like a mess

Did I chose life in a row boat?
Goin' up stream solo
Did I really bring a knife to the gun show?
Or the light to the rainbow
Yo, I don't know, don't know
Don't know, don't know

All these angels on my road
The window pane is all I know
I take my time and rock n roll
But I can't get my mind off I don't know
Aim for the fame, am I diggin' my grave?
This bottle of shine says I don't know
It's the name of the game
Like a moth to the flame
This bottle of shine says I don't know
