Casualties

Into: verse 1 I got a cracked windshield and Mardi Gras beads Some trucker hats and old hotel keys We got a dash, full of trash and other bands CD's Got a cracked windshield and Mardi Gras beads Breaking points and broken guitar strings We bet big and we lost everything Damn near wasted all our 20's chasing down a dream Now we're all breaking points and broken guitar strings We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would So why can't we just pack it up and say we did the best we could I used to be a decent man, then life just took its toll Now I'm just a casualty of rock and roll verse 2 Closing time and opening bands A different town, same old one night stands Another midnight muse in cowboy boots with X's on her hands Closing time and opening bands It's like playing a game you know you'll never win You're down to your last hand and you're all in Then a turn of luck and you double up, just to bet it all again You see we're playing a game we know we'll never win. We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would So why can't we just pack it up and say we did the best we could I shoulda been a doctor or a lawyer, or a policeman on patrol Instead I'm a casualty of rock and roll verse 3 Tell my mama and my daddy that I tried Tell all my friends and family goodbye 'Cuz if the road is where you live boy, the road is where you'll die Tell my mama and my daddy that I tried We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would So why can't we just pack it up and say we did the best we could I gave my heart to the highway, she returned it full of holes We're just casualties of rock and roll Outro: Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll
