[Verse]
Momma said be simple boy just do it right
Stay away from whiskey girls and neon lights
Keep your soul clean and your head held high
Don’t let this world steal the fire from your eyes
[Chorus]
But I tripped and fell got lost in the haze
Whiskey poured fast like those wild highways
Girls 'round my arm neon nights that did blind
Simple life left me I’m out of my mind
[Verse]
Bars became my temple prayers drowned in booze
Couldn’t see straight made every wrong move
Steel bars came calling jail cell turned home
Momma’s voice haunting I’m so far gone
[Chorus]
I tripped and fell got lost in the blaze
Whiskey burned deep through those reckless days
Girls hooked me hard neon sights that confined
Simple life fading I’m losing my time
[Bridge]
Had to crawl low bruised knees on this road
Rap it out loud truth carrying the load
Spit these stories hard from the cracks in my lips
Chains on my soul breaking with every hit
[Rap Breakdown]
Yo lost boy dreamin’ in the devil’s glow
Whiskey rivers runnin’ drownin’ what I know
Girls make promises but they vanish in the light
Neon flashin’ sins cuttin’ through the night
