Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't know why I love women that love to do me wrong
I don't know why my life sounds like a heartbroke country song
I ain't really happy, until the sky starts driving rain
Well, maybe I just get off on the pain
[Verse 2]
And my whole life I been picking fights there ain't no way to win
There's a hundred scars and shoulda-run-aways now tattooed on my skin
There's a side of me that just won't stop dancin' in the flame
Well, maybe I just get off on the pain
[Chorus]
'Cause I love the long shots, and the left out lost causes
And hangin' out in the back of the pack with the dark horses
I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can
And God knows there's no one else to blame
Sometimes I think I get off on the pain
[Verse 3]
I wake up every morning, a thousand miles from home
I'm praying for forgiveness for this aching in my bones
It would be so easy to find a better way
Oh, but I know I'll never change
[Chorus]
'Cause I love the long shots, and the left out lost causes
Hanging out in the back of the pack with the dark horses
I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can
And God knows there's no one else to blame
Sometimes I think I get off on the pain
[Chorus]
'Cause I love the long shots, and the left out lost causes
Hanging out in the back of the pack with the dark horses
I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can
And God knows there's no one else to blame
[Outro]
I know I'm the only one to blame
Sometimes I think I get off on the pain
