Last stop at Carter's cigarettes and beer
Same old eyes I hadn't seen in years
The look on his face was painted mighty tired
He's been working that job since before I was alive
And sometimes I run through these streets at night and I
Can't help but wonder what my life could be like
So I take a deep breath
Fight off a tear
And try to beat that last train outta here
I ain't good at holdin' on but I'm worse at lettin' go
I tried so hard damn near gave up hope
I drink too much
I've left and I've sinned
Smoked weed strong enough to make Willie grin
Oh I know
I ain't good at holdin' on
Oh but I
I'm worse at lettin' you go
Well late at night I hear these engines roar
It's a new type of speed ain't ever felt before
I was Amy's first and she was mine
Two years of love exchanged for one of cryin'
Yeah I would lay in my bed and pray
And I'd ask god why he took her away
And I'd think to a time when it was all so clear
But nobody keeps that peace around here
I ain't good at holdin' on but I'm worse at lettin' go
I tried so hard damn near gave up hope
I drink too much
I've left and I've sinned
Smoked weed strong enough to make Willie grin
Oh I know
I ain't good at holdin' on
Oh but I
I'm worse at lettin' you go
There's only two things in this whole damn town
Yeah one will save your soul
One will put you in the ground
So I ease off the clutch
Shed a gear
Try to beat that last train outta here
