Half Step Down

Intro

I shake my head in disbelief

At all my self inflicted grief

Had a strong right hand I wasn’t afraid to use it

My mama preached till her face was blue

But not a damn word seemed to make it through

I’ve got the scars to prove it

(Chorus)

I ran on whiskey and burned like gas

I went too far I went too fast

I’d light a fire just to walk right through it

Busted bones and dreams and tears

Tattoo my heart like souvenirs

Life is just a word till you go through it

I’ve got the scars to prove it

I lost good friends over foolish pride

Drank with the devil just to feel alive

I’d build a mountain then I'd try to move it

Yeah and I thought that I was pretty tough

Till I was brought down by a woman’s touch

I've got the scars to prove it

(Chorus)

Now and then regrets may find me

But these marks are here to remind me

Of where I went wrong what made me strong

And how I’ve moved on

I ran on whiskey and burned like gas

I went too far I went too fast

I’d light a fire just to walk right through it

Busted bones and dreams and tears

Tattoo my heart like souvenirs

Love is just a word till you go through it

Life is just a word till you go through it

I’ve got the scars to prove it
