I would've thought by now I'd be overgrown And at the station waiting, I should've known Just how much life was inside of me Cut down a branch of my family tree You find it hard to see that the future's bright 'Cause you just sleep all day and stay up all night Be safe, be brave, be whatever you like Just don't involve me 'Cause I don't wanna do it again I'm getting tired and old I only wanted a friend Someone to do as they're told I started falling apart As I was ready to go Uh! I see a glass half-full and you say you don't I know you say you will, but I know you won't Your teeth dug in and they won't let go You try your best, but it just don't show And when the road is closed and you're walking home Could it be time to call it and just go home? To your fine line of a quiet life Acquired by knowing that I don't wanna do it again I'm getting tired and old I only wanted a friend I'll do whatever I'm told I started falling apart As I was ready to go Uh! When everything beside you Comes crashing down, I'll find you And while I sleep I see you And what it's like to be you Take care and don't be fearful There's no undoing evil It's all a bunch of lies anyway So why bother? Why waste your time?

Maybe this time, Maybe this time I'll outwit my past I'll throw away the numbers, the keys And all the cards Maybe I can carve out a living in the cold At the outskirts of some city I extinguish all my recent pasts Become another man again And have a quiet life A quiet life for me A quiet life A quiet life for me A quiet life for someone An acquired life for me I lost, I ran I started once a new In northern grey, in drizzling rain In salted slush and bitter hail But the order as always merciless It wants to see me fail So the hunter is now the hunted Past voices call my name I renounce my past to live again A quiet life A quiet life A quiet life for me A quiet life for someone An acquired life for me I thought I have been given Another chance again But heaven lies as usual I repented but in vain It tries to cheat me out of my good aim Take away what I never really got My quiet life No quiet life for me No quiet life No quiet life No quiet life for me A quiet life for someone No quiet life for me Even if I have to straighten There is a life for me A qiuet life A quiet life for me (A quiet life...)

2:00 a.m. at a Broadway bar She's putting her number in my phone (Broadway girls alone) Two bud lights deep and she's saying things she don't mean And you know I met her down at Aldean's She said that she saw me walking in about a mile away Bean just had to take her phone, and that just took her smile away She said I'm too drunk and crazy, she don't like the way I dance I said, "You don't have to join in", she said she'd take a chance I've been kinda crazy ever since it went down I get kinda lost and baby, this what I found Girls like you just wanna take me around, around and around There's two things that you're gonna find out They don't love you, and they only love you right now If I was smarter, I'd stayed my ass at home And leave them Broadway girls alone (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) Them Broadway girls alone (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) They town just told me, don't trust them Broadway girls a trap They on me, they tryna finesse me They see me with Morgan and know that I rap My horse is Porsches, turning me on I jump on a horse, she get on the back I went to the bar to go buy her a drink She listen to preach, she told me she not into rap I can not run out of money The country love me forever, they treat me like Ed in London Take her to pool, then got a beer for nothing Tecovas boots, guitar, cigar, the bar She riding a bull like cars, she usually don't cool with stars Two things that you're gonna find out They don't love you, and they only love you right now If I was smarter, I'd stayed my ass at home And leave them Broadway girls alone (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) Them Broadway girls alone (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) Oh-whoa, think I oughta settle down And find me something I can take back to my hometown, oh-whoa I told them that I'm country, they just tryna tell me There's two things that you're gonna find out They don't love you, and they only love you right now If I was smarter, I'd stayed my ass at home And leave them Broadway girls alone (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) two things that you're gonna find out They don't love you, and they only love you right now (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) if I was smarter, I'd stayed my ass at home And leave them Broadway girls alone (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) Broadway girls alone (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) Leave them Broadway girls alone (Broadway girls, Broadway girls) 'Lone, 'lone, Broadway girls 'Lone, 'lone, Broadway girls alone 'Lone, 'lone, Broadway girls alone

I've given my words to you I'd do it again You know them by heart by now You have them within Oh, would you still offer your embrace If it's another place you'd find me in? If it's ours and ours to use How can we refuse a cease of fire? Between your heart and mine Well I'll surrender first tonight In your false withdrawal You'll have me rise, you'll have me fall I won't be worthy of this fight In your feigned retreat I'll follow blindly in defeat I've given my heart to you You know its ways Yes, in its chambers you have lived Though lately you have come to realize That for the bullets that you fire I'm the main supplier I'm the one The trigger for your gun Well I'll surrender first tonight In your false withdrawal You'll have me rise, you'll have me fall I won't be worthy of this fight In your feigned retreat I'll follow blindly in defeat My fear is dead I lost it in you I do hear you I do fear you I do need you
