Battery

I'm broke down here on the side of the road
And I ain't go no triple A
I crashed my car in the middle of nowhere
And my phone's all outta battery
And I can't ask nobody for no help
Cuz I don't trust nobody but me
So I lean my seat back, kick up my feet
Always think better after I sleep

Snow's driftin down and I'm watching my breath
You always said I only loved myself
If that was true I'd be tucked in bed
And there'd still be liquor on my shelf
You always said I'd be the death of you
Before you wised up and ya left
Seems you figured something out
I haven't yet
That north wind shakes the trees to their roots
Yet they stand firm through it all
They bend and they creak, shiver and moan,
And in the morning they're standing tall
I wish I could've been enough
But I didn't know how to answer that call
I could've laid some roots down
Instead I chose the fall

One step forward is all it takes
To get on through the day
But it hurts to think what I could've had
If I had known just what to say
As if the right words could make
The ways I fell short okay
Time I better grow up
Get out of my own damn way
