"Half Haggard And Hurtin'" lyrics

Lord knows this whole world
Is a weary place for the wicked
Long black train rolling out
Everyone is trying to earn them a ticket
Now I can't say if I'm ever gonna make it
But I'll sure as hell give it a shot
Now I ain't hopeless but this faith I'm holding
Is about the only damn thing I've got

Yeah, I'm halfway out of control lost my soul
And I don't know if I can get it back
And I'm long gone from anyone that I know
My happy days are surely in the past
I've lived a life of love and loss
I've made mistakes and paid the cost
And drugs and alcohol sure ain't working
I'm rebel heart without a cause
This lonely life is a heavy haul
Half haggard and hurtin'

How long can the hands of time
Keep me wandering these streets like a ghost
When every passing signs seems to read like an endless gravestone
I wasn't always meant to be with gravel dirt beneath my feet
But now it seems I'm digging me a home
That gatekeeper is turning the key
Hell, it looks like I'm never going home

Yeah, I'm halfway out of control lost my soul
And I don't know if I can get it back
And I'm long gone from anyone that I know
My happy days are surely in the past
I've lived a life of love and loss
I've made mistakes and paid the cost
And drugs and alcohol sure ain't working
I'm rebel heart without a cause
This lonely life is a heavy haul
Half haggard and hurtin'

For all the things that I've done
That setting sun's a loaded gun
And God, it just keeps burning
I hope forgiveness comes for all my wrongs
It's Heaven sent
It won't be long 'til the devil is knocking
Maybe I deserve it

Oh, I'm half haggard and hurtin'
Yeah, I'm half haggard and hurtin'

Yeah, I'm halfway out of control lost my soul
And I don't know if I can get it back
And I'm long gone from anyone that I know
My happy days are surely in the past
I've lived a life of love and loss
I've made mistakes and paid the cost
And drugs and alcohol sure ain't working
I'm rebel heart without a cause
This lonely life is a heavy haul
Half haggard and hurtin'
I'm rebel heart without a cause
This lonely life is a heavy haul
Half haggard and hurtin'
