That same road that brought you here
Will sure as hell take you home
The life you left behind will have you back
You're tired of paying dues in worn out shoes
and Broadway blues
And any fool will tell you the damn ol' deck is stacked
Pre-Chorus
What if you're just a vessel
And God gave you something special
Chorus
It ain't yours to throw away
It ain't yours to throw away
Every time you open up your mouth
Diamonds come rolling out
It ain't yours to throw away
No
And all of the players, the movers, and shakers
And our town is cold as January
Life comes true, and dreams get buried every day
Destiny won't be denied
It ain't yours to throw away
