The Debts I've Earned

Walked around the corner, an old friend I did see
A man once willing to lay his life down for me
For several long years, a face I'd not known
For I killed his family and taken his gold
One thing I've learned is the debts I have earned
I end up paying, yet I'm not concerned
His eye met mine and he drew a knife
Through gritted teeth he said you'll pay with your life
For the deed I have done can't be forgiven
He guaranteed that I won't go on living
One thing I've learned is the debts I have earned
I end up paying, yet I'm not concerned
He leapt at me and I dodged right
Neither one of us prepared for a fight
The stain on his heart that I left there
Could never be cleaned but he didn't care
Another attempt yeah he took with his blade
And with great contempt he wanted my world to fade
One blow landed and so did the next
And he'd soon make good on his threats of death
Drained of my blood I fell to the ground
Without satisfaction he said and looked down
For several long years revenge I have sought
But it don't feel anything like I thought
One thing I've learned is the debts I have earned
I end up paying, yet I'm not concerned

Crawling up the mountain
I'm sitting here stuck in traffic again
Change the station on the radio
I don't want to hear this song no more
Take a sip of my coffee and
Pour a little bit of whiskey in
It's gonna be another hour or two
Before I get through that tunnel
So I'll lean back in my ride and idle up the hill
And think about why, why I'm still driving still
It's been snowing now
Probably 'bout six inches outside
Looks like there's a wreck up ahead
18-wheeler dumped on it's side
Sick and tired of hearing this song
Think I'll change the station again
Gonna be another hour or two
Before I get through that tunnel
So I'll lean back in my ride and idle up the hill
And think about why, why I'm still driving still
Light me up a cigarette
Roll them windows down and take deep breath
Wind's blowing sideways
Gonna blow my nose right off my face
Just turn the radio off
I'm sick and tired of hearing this same old song
Gonna be another hour or two
Before I get through that tunnel
So I'll lean back in my ride and idle up the hill
And think about why, why I'm still driving still

You disagreed with all that I said
So I bit my tongue until it bled
The day I displease you will be the day that I live
Until I'm dead, till I'm dead, till I'm dead
Certainly I wish that I meant
How much you mean, you mean to me
Oh to stumble away and think again
How it feels to be free, to be free, to be free
But hey, you're just a young gun
You're just looking for some fun
And you'll find your way
It'll cost more than you're willing to pay
But hey, you're just a young gun
You're just looking for some fun
And you'll find your way
It'll cost more than you're willing to pay
You'll find yourself tongue-tied
And you'll find yourself preoccupied
Not knowing where to turn
Running out of oil to burn
Might not make it through the night, through the night, through the night
Hey, you're just a young gun
You're just looking for some fun
And you'll find your way
But it'll cost more than you're willing to pay

When you go to town
Don't you let me down
You just ask around
And don't get sideswiped
Don't you go too far
It's a noble cause
You might clench your jaw
But don't get sideswiped
When you go to town
Don't you let me down
You just ask around
And don't get sideswiped
Don't you go too far
It's a noble cause
You might clench your jaw
But don't get sideswiped
When you go to town
Don't you let me down
You just ask around
And don't get sideswiped
Don't you go too far
It's a noble cause
You might clench your jaw
But don't get sideswiped
When you go to town
Don't you let me down
You just ask around
And don't get sideswiped
Don't you go too far
It's a noble cause
You might clench your jaw
But don't get sideswiped

Driving late, can't help but think of you babe
I'm far away got many miles more 'for I can lay
I been awake don't know how long feels like a week straight
How long will it take to know my fate
Sunrise in the rearview
Your picture in my hand
Sunrise in the rearview
Over desert sand
Arid eyes locked onto the dotted line
I'm feeling like my whole life's been on the grind
Oh my my, staring so long I might go blind
Lost track of time and my mind
Sunrise in the rearview
Your picture in my hand
Sunrise in the rearview
Over desert sand
Flying down the road, redline till the engine explode
Like Tommy told, you never slow down you never grow old
Got a frozen soul, a love so hot it just feels cold
What does the future hold
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Sunrise in the rearview
Your picture in my hand
Sunrise in the rearview
Over desert sand
