Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rubbed-headed motor junky, run me down and try to stomp me
Throw my life away and I'll be worthless just like you
Somewhere now a baby's cryin', down the road his mother's dyin'
Shot a line, blew her mind, now she's turnin' blue
[Verse 2]
Don't you throw your life away, just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away, 'cause baby, I can feel it
Don't you ever compromise it, don't you even realize it?
Don't you throw your life away, 'cause baby, I can feel it now
[Verse 3]
Trip and fall, I'm sure you all can tell me what is on the wall
Behind the liquor store where you get smacked up all the time
Perfect little life you wasted, overdosed and that death you tasted
Scared you back into yourself, now you walk the line
[Verse 4]
Don't you throw your life away, just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away, 'cause baby, I can feel it
Don't you ever compromise it, don't you even realize it?
Don't you throw your life away, 'cause baby, I can feel it now
[Verse 5]
Life away
Life away
Life away
