Life's a bitch, and then you learn
Choices made and bridges burned
Stand your ground 'cause your back's against the wall
Fight like hell and stand up tall
Pay your dues, I've paid 'em all
Singin' my songs and playin' this guitar
Cause I've been takin'
A long, hard road
I've been drinkin', and gettin' stoned
Hell, I don't give a damn
If they like me on music row
I'll still be playin'
I'll still be singin'
All these songs I wrote
Always one for goin' fast
Screw the brakes, I hit the gas
I've crashed and burned at least a dozen times
I don't lie, I've raised some hell
If it was wrong, I couldn't tell
Cause all my songs, they come from a heart
Cause I've been takin'
A long, hard road
I've been drinkin'
And gettin' stoned
Hell, I don't give a damn
If they like me on music row
I'll still be playin'
I'll still be singin'
All these songs I wrote
Cause I've been takin'
A long, hard road
I've been drinkin'
And gettin' stoned
Hell, I don't give a damn
If they like me on music row
I'll still be playin'
I'll still be singin'
All these songs I wrote
All these songs I wrote
All these songs I wrote
