We been out here way too long
Searching for a brand new song and trying
To hold it all together and keep
From going crazy off the rails
And the honky-tonks I've played them all
From shopping malls to concert halls I've done em'

I'm not proud of things I've done
But I'm proud of the man that I've become
And the goodbyes always come too soon
In off the highway hotel rooms you wonder
If the chance of living free is just a smoky memory
The road is the only place that feels like home

Don't count me out there's a lot of love
Left in this heart of mine
Don't shoot me down for taking the chance
And betting on myself
For all the miles between running down my dream
I'm just a new old story coming back around

Now the ones who came
Before me been up and down these roads
The same as me
Living just for giving and trying to find a place
Where they belong
And the women come and the women go
They love you but it's only for a while
They can't fight the loneliness living with the second best
Or the rambling fever deep down in my soul

Don't count me out there's a lot of love
Left in this heart of mine
Don't shoot me down for taking the chance
And betting on myself
For all the things I've seen running down my dream
I'm just a new old story coming back around
Don't count me out there's a lot of love left
In this heart of mine

Don't shoot me down
For taking the chance and betting on myself
For all the miles between running down my dream
I'm just a new old story coming back around
For all the things I've seen running down my dream
I'm just a new old story coming back around
