where even angels fear to fly

bastrop you don't grow up

you just get raised

on hellfire and brimstone and amazing grace

the smell of stills and paper mills

you never quite escape

but i got away

i swore that i'd be done by 21

staring down the wrong end of a gun

i've drank myself ungrateful and i found myself unwise

but i'm still alive

i'm still alive

and i have learned the hard way lessons

and i have made my own mistakes

i've drove headlong down some dead end roads

no honest man should take

but i've never been afraid to spread broken wings in skies

where even angels fear to fly

where even angels fear to fly

so damn sure of what i could not know

knew too damn well of what wasn't really so

i don't conjure memories now

it's best i just forget

so i've laid to rest

my regrets

i learned the hard way

the lessons

i have made my own mistakes

drove headlong down some dead ends

no honest man should take

but i've never been afraid to spread broken wings in skies

where angels fear to fly

and i have learned the hard way lessons

and i have made my own mistakes

i've drove headlong down some dead end roads

no honest man should take

but i've never been afraid to spread broken wings in skies

where even angels fear to fly

where even angels fear to fly
