Low Road

This one's about a con man
Come down, gather around, I gotta tale a tell
It's a story about a man whose soul was for sale
He went and joined a gang to be the big shot
But he got no respect on the streets where he came up
Told the wife to pack your bags, we're gonna move away
To where I'm understood, up to a northern state
People there gave him a job and a place to stay
They gave that dude a chance, and they would get betrayed, yeah

Tommy took the low road
The one paved, with lies and bullshit
Just a con man trying to fake his way through life
Yeah, Tommy told you lies

That's when his head got big and he tried to call the shots
They put his ass in check, let him know what time it was
That's when he ran away and got put on TV
Put him up on gangland and the sons of anarchy
Then he went and wrote a book and he filled it up with lies
Threw friends under the bus, snitching for the FBI
He took the deal with Faust and he thought he had it made
That's when his karma came and plucked him from the game, yeah

Tommy took the low road the one paved, with lies and bullshit
Just a con man trying to fake his way through life
Yeah, Tommy told you lies

I'm not one to pass judgment on the dead
May he rest in peace, but that's all the love he'll get
The moral of the tale is stick to what you got
Don't try to be something or someone that you're not
And just remember about what you hear and see
Don't make it true or facts just because it's on TV
And if you change your mind and go your own way
Don't betray your friends if you can walk away, yeah

Stay away from low roads
