Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo
Vroom, hahaha

Gold chains and wife beaters
Soft-spoken loudspeakers
They called us bottom feeders
Good for nothin' drug dealers
30 spokes leaned back nugget pinky ring
And teachers said we'd never come to be anything

Caught up in a wild dreams
West Nashville Tennessee
Right off the interstate deep inside the city streets
All or nothing, ready for whatever trouble brings
That's just Monte Carlo things

Life's too short and we're driving fast
Fighting demons on this path
Got the devil on our ass
Praying the angels bring the map
Where we're headed, Lord only knows
Some young souls on a lonely road
Had no fathers to follow (Struggle)
Monte Carlo

Came up on the concrete down dirt road off a gravel street
Single mother with an only child
Had my momma dreams and my daddy's feet
Don't bite your tongue, say what you mean
Do as you speak, baby, play for keeps
This shit ain't sweet, better dig deep
Sleep is for the weak, don't accept defeat now

Never buckle, just shuffle cards
Cut the deck and then play your hand
If his heart ain't right, love is not enough
Gotta let 'em go, you can't save the man
Never take a hand if you ain't tried
First worked your ass off and gave it all you can
'Til that final slow ride in that bow
Tie stand for god in the devil's land

Life's too short and we're driving fast
Fighting demons on this path
Got the devil on our ass
Praying the angels bring the map
Where we're headed, Lord only knows
Some young souls on a lonely road
Had no fathers to follow
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo

Stood tall on that concrete
With a heart of gold and some lead feet
Kids to feed, give 'em what they need
'Cause I refuse to be another dead beat now
Lessons learned as the tires burned
Been a long road full of sharp turns
Catching all the curves
Give it gas and swerve eyes on the journey 'til it's all a blur, uh

Well, I could never turn back now
Came too far to slow it down
Doing the best with all I know
Praying the Lord will save my soul

Life's too short and we're driving fast
Fighting demons on this path
Got the devil on our ass
Praying the angels bring the map
Where we're headed, Lord only knows
Some young souls on a lonely road
Had no fathers to follow
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo
