lyrics

There I was, bound in the trunk of a 69 Galaxy Ford
Quibbling the terms of another bail-out deal with the lord
When a sharp right turn slammed a toolbox into my cheek
I opened one bloody eye and saw those jumper cables smiling at me

Into those copper crocodile teeth I fed the twine round my wrists
And as I wormed my way loose, I thought of how I'd look back on this
Would I reneg, would I beg to be the only me I’ve ever known
Or would I change my ways and start paying back on that loan

This charmed life of mine
Dumb luck, or divine?
Never gonna mess up again

I was a back door sprinter when those daddies got home early from work
Innocent enough, I never meant for anyone to get hurt - especially me
Sometimes desires catch fire and burn hotter than they ever should
A rat can get caught straying too long in the wrong neighborhood.

I never stole nobody's woman, just borrowed some for too long
Found myself crouched in a closet as her lies came out all wrong
Then I heard the lord say son, do you have no shame?
I had to say no, but you know, I'd like out of here just the same.

This charmed life of mine
Dumb luck, or divine?
Hope I never mess up again

Papa taught ask for what you want, but you gotta take what's offered to you
And don`t get caught doing nothing that you wouldn`t want your sister to do
But I aint seen her since she rode off on the back of that bike
The smile on her face told me, run away boy and do what you like.

It aint how often you score, it`s how many losing shots you take
That I'm still alive is like some heavenly accounting mistake
The edge is a fine place to live but it sure aint a home
When I leave a town there aint no time for me to pack up and go

Always on the run
Hiding from someone
Swear this time I’m done
And I'm probably gonna do it again
Yah, I’m probably gonna mess up again
Maybe someday I will make amends
But I’m probably gonna mess up again
