Im Good by The Lacs Lyrics
[Chorus: Rooster]
I've been on the wrong back roads
Ridin' with my head down low
Devil ridin' shotgun, gettin' it done
I'll be good if the good die young
And it's been a long dark ride
'Cause there ain't no wind inside
You don't know about what I do or done
I'll be good if the good die young
[Verse 1: Uncle Snap]
I take a shot of whiskey, I take another draw
You hit the bottle with me, man it's up to y'all
Two pack habit that stretchers about a mile long
I plead to fifth with it till I hit my milestone
When I was 14 is when I got my first taste
On my birthday, I need it in the worst way
10 years later with head low, creepin'
Started out, it was only on the weekend
Now is a different day, seven different tastes
Sometimes I feel I'm gettin' pulled 11 different ways
I got the savin' grace, hell I got bills to pay
I got a show and it don't matter how I feel today
I'm fast lane glidin' and that ass end drivin'
On a plane that's headed for woods
And they ain't no running 'cause the good die young
And so you know I'm gonna be all good
[Chorus: Rooster]
I've been on the wrong back roads
Ridin' with my head down low
Devil ridin' shotgun, gettin' it done
I'll be good if the good die young
And it's been a long dark ride
'Cause there ain't no wind inside
You don't know about what I do or done
I'll be good if the good die young
[Verse 2: Rooster]
That guy you used to know, you wouldn't recognize him now
You used to solid ground, me I've been up in the clouds
Chasin' all the faiths but mama told me got your number
I'm a tickin' time bomb, steady fillin' up with wonder
'Bout that life of a bad boy, livin' like an outlaw
Still it's just a sad story, I don't know what happened y'all
I made it through some things that probably shouldn't should be dead
I just kick back the bottle and take one to the head
Got a long line of faith on a stained CD case
Give a damn what they say, I've been tryin' to get away
Put the smoke in the wind straight down the highway to hell
I got some hella some friends, keep me from jumpin' the ridge
I like to take off by myself and do some thinkin' 'bout my troubles
You know when you get to drinkin' how the trouble usually doubles
I've been caught up in the middle, man, I'm trying to pick a side
But I'd rather block it out and just ride
[Chorus: Rooster]
I've been on the wrong back roads (Back roads)
Ridin' with my head down low (Down low)
Devil ridin' shotgun, gettin' it done
I'll be good if the good die young (Good die young)
And it's been a long dark ride (Ride)
'Cause there ain't no wind inside (Inside)
You don't know about what I do or done
I'll be good if the good die young (Good die young)
(Die young, if the good die young, if the good die, if the good die)
I've been on the wrong back roads
Ridin' with my head down low
Devil ridin' shotgun, gettin' it done
I'll be good if the good die young
And it's been a long dark ride
'Cause there ain't no wind inside
You don't know about what I do or done
I'll be good if the good die young
[Verse 1: Uncle Snap]
I take a shot of whiskey, I take another draw
You hit the bottle with me, man it's up to y'all
