The Righteous Path
Lyricist:John Michael Cooley, Patterson Hood, Brad Morgan, John Neff, Shonna Tucker
I got a brand new car that drinks a bunch of gas Got a house in a neighborhood that's fading fast Got a dog and a cat that don't fight too much Got a few hundred channels to keep me in touch
Got a beautiful wife and three tow-headed kids A couple big secrets I'd kill to keep hid I don't know God, but I fear His wrath I'm trying to stay focused on the righteous path
I got a couple of opinions that I hold dear Got a whole lot of debt and a whole lot of fear Got an itch that needs scratchin' but it feels all right Got the need to blow it out on a Saturday night
Got a grill in the backyard and a case of beers Got a boat that ain't seen the water in years More bills than money, I can do the math I'm trying to keep focused on the righteous path
I'm trying to keep focused as I drive down the road On the ditches and the curves and the heavy load Ain't bitching 'bout things that ain't in my grasp Just trying to hold steady on the righteous path
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com There's a friend of mine I've known all my life He can't get it right, no matter how hard he tries Got kids he don't see and several ex-wives A list of bad decisions 'bout eight miles wide
Trouble with the law and the IRS And where he'll get the money is anybody's guess He's a long way off, but if you was to ask He'd say, 'I'm trying to stay on the righteous pathâ€
Tryin' to keep focused as we drive down the road Like back in high school before the world turned cold Now the brakes are thin and the curves are fast We're trying to hold steady on the righteous path
We're hanging out and we're hanging on We're trying the best we can to keep on keeping on We got messed up minds for these messed up times And there's a thin, thin line separating his from mine
We're trying to hold steady on the righteous path 80 miles an hour with a worn out map No time for self pity, all that old crap Just trying to stay focused on the righteous path
