As a Crow Flies

3 o'clock still halfway rocked in the middle of nowhere Catching long breaths with cigarettes still coughing up my lungs I sure wish that I could quit the shit if I had a reason why I'd give it up in heartbeat if it wasn't for this drive And it's a long way to go When I've given everything up, what's there really left to show And I'll tell you son It's a narrow road when you're on your own, one way in and one way out As a crow flies Well I guess what your saying it makes more than perfect sense I laid it out gave it all up ain't been the same since The good lord knows I mean well, but I ain't seen him in years Now I'm sitting here begging please through the overwhelming tears And it's a long way to go You can't give it all and have it too guess I'll reap what I sow And it's not what you planned Deal a better hand and live life as straight As a crow flies What the hell is wrong with me, I've given up my life Trade it in for a simple plan no damn reason why I wish I could've given you all the silver and gold Instead all I leave to you is this thin narrow road And it's a long way to go You know some days are harder when you're walking in the snow And it's a long way to go Follow me through the storm, and you'll get there in time As a crow flies And it's a long way to go When you gave it all and have it too, don't forget what you know And it's a long way to go Deal a better hand and live life as straight Don't forget where you're from and you'll stay As a crow flies
