I?ve been down to the bottom of a bottle
I?ve lived my life stuck in full throttle
And slowin? down, slowin? down keeps grindin? my gears
And I took risks I never shoulda taken
I broke hearts that didn?t need breakin?
And I don?t know why, don?t know why I can?t cry tears
And I just can?t seem to walk the line
It?s always been easy to say goodbye
When I?m always runnin?
Ain?t nothin? gonna change my mind
And I just can?t seem to get a clue
I never seem to think things through
It?s T-U-F-F tuff, I can?t win the fight
With the fool inside of me
verse 2
Too many times I?ve had to learn the hard way
Made mistakes but tomorrow?s a new day
I?ve been there, done that, I ain?t lookin? back
Yeah and I lost track with man in the mirror
But a whiskey glass seemed to make things clearer
And I don?t know why, don?t know why but I?ve got it bad
And I just can?t seem to walk the line
It?s always been easy to say goodbye
When I?m always runnin?
Ain?t nothin? gonna change my mind
And I just can?t seem to get a clue
I never seem to think things through
It?s T-U-F-F tuff, I can?t win the fight
With the fool inside of me
Bridge
And when I?m about to get things straight
The fool in me takes a swing
He always seems to find a way to
Turn me upside down?yeah yeah
Solo
And I just can?t seem to walk the line
It?s always been easy to say goodbye
When I?m always runnin?
Ain?t nothin? gonna change my mind
And I just can?t seem to get a clue
I never seem to think things through
It?s T-U-F-F tuff, I can?t win the fight
With the fool inside of me
Outro
Yeah fightin? the fool
Fightin? the fool inside of me
