I'll give it three more tries, but then that's it
I got a heart that's soft enough, don't smash it
Please don't take advantage of this rap kid
I know you can, come on, everybody has it
I pay my rent, then blah blah, the money's spent
I pay my debt, then blah blah blah, there's more to get
The more I pay, the more I owe
Then each and every day I gotta rock a new show
And each and every day, it's just me and the road
Every single way, all my fuses gets blown
It's of to work, honey, this stage is my office
I have to work late, hold my calls while I rock this
Show: two people and a soundman
Oh, I got skipped over by SoundScan
So, i'll try and dominate the market
Skip the introductions, pour the gas, time to spark it
This long grey road is getting longer
So, i'll stretch my bones and write more songs
I'll give it three more tries, but then that's it
If you come around this tree, leave the hatchets
It's just a couple more miles and a few more shows
A whole lot more punches and several more blows
You can try and try again to kick the habit
Give it a few more tries but then that's it
I'll give it two more tries, but then that's it
I got a heart that's hardening, so smash it
Just try and take advantage of this magic
While you can, or i'll turn around and have it
Cause I'm not letting go, you'll have to pry it from my hands
We can go to blows but you won't get it from these hands
Who am I kidding, take what you want
Just wrap it up nicely and leave out the front
Door, i'll make it easy to walk on the
Floor, that's where my chalk-outline is
More or less of me of what I was
This picture's worth a thousand tears, sweat, and blood
I'll give it two more tries, but then that's it
I'll try and do a good job but nothing drastic
It's just a couple more miles and a few more shows
A whole lot more punches and several more blows
You can try and try again to kick the habit
Give it a few more tries but then that's it [2x]
I'll give it one more try, but then that's it
