Intro

well my little brother's raising hell living down in Texas

he probably ought to be in jail from the stories that he tells us

of whiskey nights and rodeos the strippers down in Austin

he's had himself some real good times if he could just recall them

now his money's running out and there's a job in his future

and it's looking like his rambling days are done

so he's sizing up his choices and a job just ain't one

he don't know which way to run

As for you and winter, it may be cold but that don't stop the rain,

the holes up in your roof make keeping dry a losing game

the stairwell's always wet , but you wouldn't really mind if

the tears would dry up in your crying eyes

Now your boy, he's coming home but that just ain't that good for you

started ending long ago you know that much is true

so dry your eyes and say goodbye because he just ain't the one

decide which way to run

gonna decide which way to run

as for me, the same old shit keeps pulling me on down

I never been quite able to pick myself up off the ground

always got big plans, but they're always in the works

and I swear they'll pay off if my luck don't give out first

well here I am again I don't know if I’m right

but I can tell you that I’m having fun

so I give it one more shot because this race, it ain't quite done

I hit the ground and run

gonna hit the ground and run

gonna decide which way to run

gonna hit the ground and run

and my little brother's raising hell living down in Texas
