You and Me

Black boots, red cup Brown liquor, no suds Some bad motherfuckers just rolled up Yeah Firecracker, short fuse I pull the plug out on you like a corkscrew No limit, no curfew Yeah To get everything I wanted in this lifetime I had to put my beliefs on the front line And every song that I sing It's always been you and me Tell my baby it will be another late night I left work eight hours after midnight No breaks, no sleep And it's always been you and me You know it's always been you and me No money, no short change Still hating, poor thing Middle fingers up, tell you one more thing Yeah Can't hear me, let me dumb it down I'm slum by nature from a small town We tote guns by nature no showin' out Yeah To get everything I wanted in this lifetime I had to put my beliefs on the front line And every song that I sing It's always been you and me Tell my baby it will be another late night I left work eight hours after midnight No breaks, no sleep And it's always been you and me Like a raven over the grave, I get lost over the page I'm in tune with my spirit, doing shrooms, trip for days 18 with the bat, in the project with the raps White boy with the blacks, from the sticks, I crossed the tracks Rock and roll, rolling stone, daddy left his pistol home Load it up, shooting bottles off the porch to his songs I was troubled, I was hurt and it bubbled to the surface Took it out on writing songs, put that seed up under the dirt God gave me water (bless) two sons and one daughter (bless) I prayed and prayed harder, now I work hard and play harder I visualize, put thumbtacks over outlines When they said I was out of my mind I put more goals in the pipeline, this is my time To get everything I wanted in this lifetime I had to put my beliefs on the front line And every song that I sing It's always been you and me Tell my baby it will be another late night I left work eight hours after midnight No breaks, no sleep And it's always been you and me You know it's always been you and me You know it's always been you and me
