You draw it out like a highway With every word that you say
G D
Excuses for the answers that you lack

Your mama?s still the steady ground you walk on every day

And your daddy?s still the monkey on your back

Did you find all you thought you?d find out in the wild, wild west
Em A
You took a little piece of home and you threw away the rest

You say you?re livin? on the edge and I think you?re hangin? from a ledge

Are you still a bullet in your daddy?s gun

Don?t forget boy you?re your mama?s only son

Saw your sister yesterday

Austin?s five and on his way
