Lyrics

I should have left back then
He said, "you wanna write a hit
And see the cash roll in
You got a lie a bit
It's a cutthroat business, man
That's just the way it is"
Maybe he was right
And here I am
Same old town I grew up in
And it's become sick medicine
Cutting ropes
Talking to the walls
Sitting here alone
Why am I even here at all
Young and dumb
That's what they would have called us
Running from
The men that we should have become
Out of luck
Out of second chances
Till there's nobody in this bar left to blame
Closed bowling alley
We used to practice all night long
Working on the next big thing
To get us out of Arkansas
To a bigger town
To a bigger crowd
But it never panned out
They said we played a little too loud
But there's many other friends of mine
Trying to fit in these same shoes
It's not like they don't deserve it
But it's only given to a few
"It's a cutthroat business, man
That's just the way it is
Maybe you should learn to know
When to call it quits"
Young and dumb
That's what they would have called us
Running from
The men that we should have become
Out of luck
Out of second chances
Till there's nobody in this bar left to blame
Young and dumb
That's what they would have called us
Running from
These mortgage loans and scholarship funds
Out of luck
You played a little too long
Now there's nobody in this bar left to blame
There's nobody in this bar left to blame
There's nobody left here but me
