Danger

Since I've been on the road now I've seen a lot of danger Met a lot of strangers They're one and the same They know me by my first name Just another blue collar The shadow of my father Following me I've never been lazy Hell, I've been working my ass off Waiting for the payoff And going for broke But I love this life, kid I was always gonna do it There ain't nothing to it When you're chasing a dream 'Til I finally made my mind up To fight for something more Pulled my head out of the clouds Picked my heart up off the floor Now that I'm a father I see I was never patient Another fabrication I was carrying on I wish that I could tell you How I learned my lessons And counted my blessings Like a man should do Just look out for the ladies You're gonna meet a lot of mean ones I'm willing to bet, son You're gonna love a few 'Til you finally make your mind up To fight for something more And pull your head out of the clouds And pick your heart up off the floor I've made my stands I've had blood on my hands I've been drunk And I've been lied to I've lost love And I've cursed the man above But I'm still here And so are you But out here on the highway Searching for the end-all It's getting harder to defend all Of the things I do So don't let 'em catch you Not a woman or a lawman Nobody gonna understand What you're going through
