Still In The Running

(album: Suburban Drawl - 2023)

I've been here before, I know the scenery well
Through the dust is the ass-end of everyone else
I flew out of the gate like a rocket
Looked like I had a win in my pocket
Hit the dirt, now I'm laying here hurting like hell
Telling myself...

It set me back, but I'm still in the running
Still in the running, sure ain't the worst place to be
I fell off track, but my engine's still humming
There's a better day coming. Yes, I'm still in the running

I've been here before, sleeping out on the couch
Wasn't blessed with a talent for shutting my mouth
Think I'll wake up and make her some breakfast
Go to Jared and buy her that necklace
Try to clean up the mess that I made of tonight
Oh my...

It set me back, but I'm still in the running
Still in the running, sure ain't the worst place to be
I fell off track, but my engine's still humming
There's a better day coming. Yes, I'm still in the running

I've been here before, know the scenery well
Staring up at a Bible been stuck on a shelf
Picking my sorry ass of the carpet
Putting my wandering eyes on the target
Getting back on my feet means hitting my knees
I believe...

It set me back, but I'm still in the running
Still in the running, sure ain't the worst place to be
I fell off track, but my engine's still humming, boy
There's a better day coming. Yeah, I'm still in the running
A better day coming. Yes, I'm still in the running
