i've been down to the bottom of a bottle
i've lived my life stuck in full throttle
and slowin' down
slowin' down keeps grindin' my gears
and i took risks i never shoulda taken
i broke hearts that didn't need breakin'
and i don't know why
don't know why i can't cry tears
and i just can't seem to walk the line
it's always been easy to say goodbye
when i'm always runnin'
ain't nothin' gonna change my mind
and i just can't seem to get a clue
i never seem to think things through
it's t-u-f-f tuff
i can't win the fight
with the fool inside of me
too many times i've had to learn the hard way
made mistakes but tomorrow's a new day
i've been there
done that
i ain't lookin' back
yeah and i lost track with man in the mirror
but a whiskey glass seemed to make things clearer
and i don't know why
don't know why but i've got it bad
and i just can't seem to walk the line
it's always been easy to say goodbye
when i'm always runnin'
ain't nothin' gonna change my mind
and i just can't seem to get a clue
i never seem to think things through
it's t-u-f-f tuff
i can't win the fight
with the fool inside of me
and when i'm about to get things straight
the fool in me takes a swing
he always seems to find a way to
turn me upside down.yeah yeah
and i just can't seem to walk the line
it's always been easy to say goodbye
when i'm always runnin'
ain't nothin' gonna change my mind
and i just can't seem to get a clue
i never seem to think things through
it's t-u-f-f tuff
i can't win the fight
with the fool inside of me
yeah fightin' the fool
fightin' the fool inside of me
