I've been down to the bottom of a bottle
I've lived my life stuck in full throttle
And slowin' down, slowin' down keeps grindin' my gears
And I took risks I never shoulda taken
I broke hearts that didn't need breakin'
And I don't know why, don't know why I can't cry tears


And I just can't seem to walk the line
It's always been easy to say goodbye
When I'm always runnin'
Ain't nothin' gonna change my mind
And I just can't seem to get a clue
I never seem to think things through
It's T-U-F-F tuff, I can't win the fight
With the fool inside of me

Too many times I've had to learn the hard way
Made mistakes but tomorrow's a new day
I've been there, done that, I ain't lookin' back
Yeah and I lost track with man in the mirror
But a whiskey glass seemed to make things clearer
And I don't know why, don't know why but I've got it bad


And I just can't seem to walk the line
It's always been easy to say goodbye
When I'm always runnin'
Ain't nothin' gonna change my mind
And I just can't seem to get a clue
I never seem to think things through
It's t-u-f-f tuff, I can't win the fight
With the fool inside of me


And when I'm about to get things straight
The fool in me takes a swing
He always seems to find a way to
Turn me upside down…yeah yeah


And I just can't seem to walk the line
It's always been easy to say goodbye
When I'm always runnin'
Ain't nothin' gonna change my mind
And I just can't seem to get a clue
I never seem to think things through
It's t-u-f-f tuff, I can't win the fight
With the fool inside of me
Yeah fightin' the fool
Fightin' the fool inside of me
