Rat Race

Single wide full of booze

Walks away from a crowded room

Stumblin’ back and forth

Down the hallway

Dollar bill and an eight ball of cocaine

His brain starts shifting to a different state

Livin’ his life like a rat race

Don’t know what road to take

One wrong turn at the blink of an eye

Changed his fate

Dirty blonde and some crystal blues

Hands bound and bra ripped loose

Horn honkin’ swervin’ down a two lane

Lost control, lipstick smeared on his face

His brain starts shifting to a different state

Livin’ his life like a rat race

Don’t know what road to take

One wrong turn at the blink of an eye

Changed his fate

He feels the car roll

Off the paved road

Into a tree

He sees the glass break and

Hears the screams

That she makes

All is gone

Down the hole from this disaster

The touch he makes from the

Blood on her face

Makes him instant sober

Red n’ blue shakin n’ his boots

Six eight cell he’s through

Manslaughter fifteen in a state pin

Scarred for life

Can’t forgive his sins

His brain starts shifting to a different state

Livin’ his life like a rat race

Don’t know what road to take

One wrong turn at the blink of an eye

Changed his fate

One wrong turn at the blink of an eye

Changed his fate
