And a brand new car that eats a bunch of gas
Got a house and a neighbor that's just fading fast
Got a dog and a cat that don't fight too much
A few hundred channels to keep me in touch
Got a beautiful wife and three toed kids
A bunch of big secrets I'd kill to keep hid I don't know God,
but I fear His wrath
I'm trying to stay focused on the righteous path
Got
a bunch of big opinions that I hold dear
Got a whole lot of debt and a whole lot of
fear Got an itch that ain't scratching but it
feels alright Got the need to blow it out to San Francisco
tonight Travel in the backyard in a case of beer
A boat that ain't seen the water in years More bills than money,
I can do the math
I'm trying to stay focused on the righteous path
Trying to stay focused as we drive down the road
From the ditches and the curves and the heavy load
Ain't worried about things standing in my grass
But trying to stay focused on the righteous path
Trying to stay focused on the righteous path
There's this friend of mine I've known all my life
Who can get it right no matter how hard he tries
Got kids he ain't seen,
a bunch of ex-wives A list of bad intentions about eight miles
wide
Kill with the law and the IRS
He'll get the money's anybody's guess
He's a long way off but if he was to ask
He'd say I'm trying to stand up
Trying to stay focused as we drive down the road
Like back in high school before the heavy load
Now the brakes are thin and the girls are flat
But trying to hold steady on the righteous path
Trying to hold steady on the righteous path
And I'm hanging out,
and I'm hanging on We're doing the best we can to keep on keeping
on
We got messed up minds for these messed up
times And it's been been a while
And I'm trying to hold steady on the righteous path
Eighty miles an hour with a one hour map Ain't
worried about things standing in my grass
But trying to hold steady on the righteous path
Trying to hold steady on the righteous path
