Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm a long way from home just running down a song

I'm hellbent to write and its putting up a fight

The days they fly by, the dark takes it's own sweet time

Cheap whiskey burns but the fire is how you learn

[Verse 2]

Some folks call it paying dues

I call it having nothing to lose but time

You can waste it chasing guilt and pride

Or you can face it head on, and sing your song until you die

[Verse 3]

You gotta try and walk the line for the man up in the sky

When the angel down below's the only one fighting for your soul

Now the blood from your veins feels the love and the pain

Of the years being gone, running down a song

[Verse 4]

Some folks call it paying dues

I call it having nothing to lose but time

You can waste it chasing guilt and pride, or you can face it head on

And sing your song until you die

[Verse 5]

Well the miles add up, but they don't pay

The bills fold up real nice but they don't stay

Rhymes come and go as they please, like me I gotta ease on down the road, babe

There's a new sound calling, and my family name is like a tombstone chiseled in my brain

I was born outta phase going out in a blaze

So fill 'er up buddy, cup of joe I gotta go

[Verse 6]

Some folks call it paying dues

Hell, I call it having nothing to lose but time

You can waste it chasing guilt and pride, or face it head on and sing your song until you die

Yeah, until you die
