You might say that I'm an old has been

You might say I'm just a never was

I'm a little bit of both now and then

Never really stood to fight for much

But something happened when your eyes met mine

I became a different man

Heard a whisper screaming deep inside

You better ask that girl to dance

So when the lights went down

The band cranked up

We stepped out on that floor

Started out with one slow dance

I got something worth fighting for

()

Never been the kind to turn around

Shots fired I won't hit the ground

When your back's against the wall you know exactly where I'll be

I'll be standing tall against the waves

Just like a lighthouse in a hurricane

I'd have everything to lose and nothing left to gain

If I had you

I drink my liquor from the bottom shelf

Smoke it if it burns

Know I'm gunna have the devil to pay

When it comes my turn

But I wouldn't ever do you wrong

I got everything to prove

Never wanted someone so strong

Until I saw you

So when the lights come on

The band tears down

I'll be the one to take you home

And when the night winds blow

You're never gunna be alone.
