some say

Lyrics

Some say I'm a lil' off that chain,
somewhat criminally mental with a smidge of insane.
Crazy thing to say, but momma isn't to blame,
from the time I could walk I was lookin' to leave, switch lanes.
Embark in a life of sin and greed to succeed,
any means necessary, that's the creed that I bleed.
Seein' the default to the Harry Carey, livin' life in them
realms and reality, seem somewhat scary when I'm in 'em.
Walked through the shadows with a stone-cold face,
heart like a vault, never showin' no trace.
Knew the risk early, knew the price late,
still I chose the dirt road over the safe gate.

Hook – 8 bars, chant it
So live in life as if you don't have no more,
wake up, lace up, kick down that door.
That Montrose should seem somewhat of a bore,
and to be nevermore, let it hit the floor.
'Cause with every waking day,
new chance, new play,
be better than the way he was yesterday.

Verse 2
County line kid with a county-wide name,
prayers in the ashtray, ash on the flame.
Did it for the hunger, not for the fame,
took losses on the chin, never switched the game.
Realms get heavy, reality get thin,
devil on my shoulder whisperin' "again."
I ain't perfect, but I'm present in the war,
every scar a lesson that I couldn't ignore.
No more lookin' back, no more "what if,"
just a cold truth and a loaded fifth.
If it's written, let it bleed in ink,
live it loud today, 'cause tomorrow might shrink.

Hook – repeat, double the last two lines
So live in life as if you don't have no more,
wake up, lace up, kick down that door.
That Montrose should seem somewhat of a bore,
and to be nevermore, let it hit the floor.
'Cause with every waking day,
new chance, new play,
be better than the way he was yesterday,
better than the way he was yesterday.
