I got a brand new car that drinks a bunch of gas |
|
I got a house in a neighborhood that's fading fast |
|
I got a dog and a cat that don't fight too much |
|
I got a few hundred channels to keep me in touch |
|
I got a beautiful wife and three tow-headed kids |
|
I got a couple of big secrets I'd kill to keep hid |
|
I don't know God but I fear his wrath |
|
I'm trying to keep focused on the righteous path |
|
I got a couple of opinions that I hold dear |
|
A whole lot of debt and a whole lot of fear |
|
I got an itch that needs scratching but it feels alright |
|
I got the need to blow it out on Saturday night |
|
I got a grill in the backyard and a case of beers |
|
I got a boat that ain't seen the water in years |
|
More bills than money, I can do the math |
|
I'm trying to keep focused on the righteous path |
|
I'm trying to keep focused as I drive down the road |
|
On the ditches and the curves and the heavy load |
|
Ain't bitching bout things that aren't in my grasp |
|
Just trying to hold steady on the righteous path |
|
There's this friend of mine I've known all my life |
|
Who can't get it right no matter how hard he tries |
|
He's got kids he don't see and several ex-wives |
|
And a list of bad decisions bout eight miles wide |
|
Trouble with the law and the IRS |
|
And where he'll get the money's anybody's guess |
|
He's a long way off but if you was to ask |
|
He'd say he's trying to stay focused on the righteous path |
|
Trying to keep focused as we drive down the road |
|
Like we did back in High School before the world turned cold |
|
Now the brakes are thin and the curves are fast |
|
We're trying to hold steady on the righteous path |
|
We're hanging out and we're hanging on |
|
We're trying the best we can to keep keeping on |
|
We got messed up minds for these messed up times |
|
And it's a thin thin line separating his from mine |
|
Trying to hold steady on the righteous path |
|
80 miles and hour with a worn out map |
|
No time for self-pity or self-righteous crap |
|
Trying to stay focused on the righteous path |
