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
