Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Couldn't hold a job, kept showing up half gone,
Bottle in the saddlebag, engine running all night long,
Powder on the dash, told myself it kept me straight,
Blue lights in the mirror... I just twist and accelerate.
Killed my soul with so much sin it just laid down and died,
Friend said "man, you're fading"... I just laughed and went to ride,
County line behind me, something chasing in my chest,
I keep outrunning judgment, but it's never far at rest.
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, please have mercy on this hollowed out soul...
I've been a liar, a cheat, sold my love for gold--
I don't deserve redemption, a place in HEAVEN,
So I'll booze and snort my way to my next ascension.
Oh Lord, please have mercy on this hollowed out soul...
I've been a liar, a cheat, sold my love for gold--
I don't deserve redemption, a place in HEAVEN,
So I'll booze and snort my way to my next ascension.
[Verse 2]
Girl left a note said she couldn't watch me sink,
Love didn't live where I breathe and drink,
Bike still hot as I tore out the drive,
Didn't turn around... just did another line.
Court date coming, dodging all the calls,
Lawman knows my name though, says it's time to take a fall,
Still I chase that rush, any high to call my own,
And I burn every bridge, unsurprised I ride alone.
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, please have mercy on this hollowed out soul...
I've been a liar, a cheat, sold my love for gold--
I don't deserve redemption, a place in HEAVEN,
So I'll booze and snort my way to my next ascension.
Oh Lord, please have mercy on this hollowed out soul...
I've been a liar, a cheat, sold my love for gold--
I don't deserve redemption, a place in HEAVEN,
So I'll booze and snort my way to my next ascension.
