lyrics

I went huntin’ for a good time
In the bars of Tennessee
Getting high on booze and moonshine
A wild child in the streets
Marching to my own drumbeat

I was howling in the moonlight
Like a prisoner broken free
You tracked me down like a bloodhound
Hot on the trail after me
Warden you best throw away the key

Don’t mean to make you sad
Or feel like you’ve been had
But it ain’t no mystery
I’m my own worst enemy

I was searching for some sunshine
Bottled up inside of me
You were itching for a good fight
So you took it to the streets
A lonely lovers remedy

And I’ve been reaching for the limelight
Like an unsung melody
You’ve were straddling my fault lines
Quite a dangerous place to be
Earth quaking beneath your feet

Don’t let it make you mad
You played the hand you had
Like a gambler getting beat
You shouldn't feel too bad
For all we ever had
Was but a bullet in the breeze
