I’ve always been the type to leap before I look

I was never any good learning lessons from no book

The kind of man who’s at his best when he is deep up in the mix

Gimme something i can hold so i can use my hands to fix

Whatever it is I broke to get us here

My baby girl’s a pistol, she is stubborn and she’s loud

Watching her older brother as he wreaks havoc on our house

She falls in line behind him she and does her best to join

The drizzle to his hurricane, her muscles are still forming

So she smiles and watches while she plots another day

Falling is the price

Of branches out of reach

But the tumble that you take and the bones that you might break

Are no excuse to stay out of the tree

Wrong coast at the right time with the right songs and the right rhymes

And the wrong name and the fucked brain

and the wrong cure and the right strain

I’ve been taking tumbles my entire fucking life

I am learning while I’m living, making wrongs to find the rights

Messy and imperfect but the only way i know

Falling is the price

Of branches out of reach

But the tumble that you take and the bones that you might break

Are no excuse to stay out of the tree

I work smart and I work hard

And I ain’t ever scared to bleed

I got plenty that I want

but not a god damn thing I need

cause I got work when I get hungry

and the freedom to turn it down

crowds that sing the words

and a couch in every town

I’ve got family that loves me

despite demons i’ve unmasked

and a couple friends with shovels who will show up when I ask

I did it all the hard way

and I wouldn’t change a thing

I took my shot, earned my scars

built this life, I proudly sing

Falling is the price

Of branches out of reach

But the tumble that you take and the bones that you might break

Are no excuse to stay out of the tree

There’s no excuse to stay out of the tree
