Intro verse 1 Tonight we're fighting in a losing war Don't even remember what we're fighting for Running on hope and gasoline Got a real bad feeling it's a pipe bomb dream Well I did a little something for the brave and free Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me Took a few too many liberties It's a hard ass lesson to learn Roll the dice just one more turn Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn Instrumental verse 2 Driving all night with a steady hand Bringing a heavy rig home from the promised land Oklahoma City by the morning sun I ain't never met a problem that I can't outrun I did a little something for the brave and free Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me Took a few too many liberties It's a hard ass lesson to learn But I roll the dice just one more turn Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn Instrumental verse 3 Well I was riding high when the lights came on I was 45 miles from the county line Hit a jackpot once went back for more From an old pipe dream to a cell block floor Say it's alright but you know it's not And you're breaking up laws and you wind up caught It's everything or all for naught It's a hard ass lesson to learn But I roll the dice just one more time Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn Outro
