Lyrics

Yeah
You can give the world your heart, and it still take more.
I been on my best behavior, doin' right by every favor,
Give my word, give my hand, even prayed for my haters.
Kept my boots clean, walked that line,
Still they drag my name through the Carolina pines.
Yeah, I been on my best behavior,
But good don't mean they'll save ya.
Held doors open for folks who never looked back,
Gave bread to the ones that left my table cracked.
Smiled through storms, bit my tongue on rage,
But nice men burn slow in a hard man's cage.
I ain't bitter, I'm just broke in right,
Like leather boots that been through fights.
They say "be the bigger man," I tried that route,
Now I'm big enough to walk away, no doubt.
I been on my best behavior, doin' right by every favor,
Give my word, give my hand, even prayed for my haters.
Kept my boots clean, walked that line,
Still they drag my name through the Carolina pines.
Yeah, I been on my best behavior,
But good don't mean they'll save ya.
Took hits from friends I swore had my back,
Turned the other cheek, they just took another crack.
Loved a woman that I should've let go,
Now she call when she low, but that well run cold.
Ain't no crown for the humble ones,
Just dirt on your knees when the deal's all done.
So I raise my glass to the lesson learned —
Kind hearts cut deep when the tables turn.
Mama said, "Son, don't change your ways,"
But it's hard stayin' good when the world don't pay.
Still, I ain't fallin' from the man I am,
I'll walk that line till it fade in sand.
I been on my best behavior, doin' right by every favor,
Give my word, give my hand, even prayed for my haters.
Kept my boots clean, walked that line,
Still they drag my name through the Carolina pines.
Yeah, I been on my best behavior,
But good don't mean they'll save ya
No, good don't mean they'll save ya.
