The Righteous Path |
| I got a brand new car that drinks a bunch of gas |
| Got a house in a neighborhood that’s fading fast |
| Got a dog and a cat that don’t fight too much |
| Got a few hundred channels to keep me in touch |
| Got a beautiful wife and three tow-headed kids |
| A couple big secrets I’d kill to keep hid |
| I don’t know God, but I fear His wrath |
| I’m trying to stay focused on the righteous path |
| I got a couple of opinions that I hold dear |
| Got a whole lot of debt and a whole lot of fear |
| Got an itch that needs scratchin' but it feels all right |
| Got the need to blow it out on a Saturday night |
| Got a grill in the backyard and a case of beers |
| 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 ain’t in my grasp |
| Just trying to hold steady on the righteous path |
| There’s a friend of mine I’ve known all my life |
| He can’t get it right, no matter how hard he tries |
| Got kids he don’t see and several ex-wives |
| A list of bad decisions 'bout eight miles wide |
| Trouble with the law and the IRS |
| And where he’ll get the money is anybody’s guess |
| He’s a long way off, but if you was to ask |
| He’d say, «I'm trying to stay on the righteous path†|
| Tryin' to keep focused as we drive down the road |
| Like 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 on keeping on |
| We got messed up minds for these messed up times |
| And there’s a thin, thin line separating his from mine |
| We’re trying to hold steady on the righteous path |
| 80 miles an hour with a worn out map |
| No time for self pity, all that old crap |
| Just trying to stay focused on the righteous path |
