Runnin' Across the Tracks

This ain’t no TV show
You watch my head explode
Ten thousand hours every day
No time to be afraid
Chase out the rattlesnakes
Don’t let your fear control your fate
The ghost of self-denial
It whispers from the grave
The road you can’t rely on’s
A risk that you must take
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m pullin' the blindfolds back, on a dead end life
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m gonna escape this trap, 'gotta get out alive
Stuck in this prison cell
Just like a criminal
I count the years that went to waste
If this road goes to hell
I’ll fight back when I fail
Made a career from my mistakes
The ghost of self-denial
It whispers from the grave
The road you can’t rely on
Could be your saving grace
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m pullin' the blindfolds back, on a dead end life
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m gonna escape this trap, 'gotta get out alive
Every step that I aim to take
I fall behind, I fall behind
Every neck that I had to break
These scars are mine, these scars are mine
Every day that I pray for you
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
At least I can say that we made it through
The stars aligned, the stars aligned
And words just can’t explain the struggle of a dead man’s fight
And silver spoons can’t but the wisdom of a hear earned life
Every step that I aim to take
I fall behind, I fall behind
Every neck that I had to break
These scars are mine, these scars are mine
Every day that I pray for you
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
And I hope that you make it through
Yeah, I hope that you make it through
It’s up to you!
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m pullin' the blindfolds back, on a dead end life
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m runnin' across the tracks, and I’ll never go back
I’m gonna escape this trap, 'gotta get out alive
Every step that I aim to take
I fall behind, I fall behind
Every neck that I had to break
These scars are mine, these scars are mine
Every day that I pray for you
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
At least I can say we made it through
The stars aligned, The stars aligned
The stars aligned!
