"Out of Your Way" lyrics

I'm a single man
Had a wife, had some kids, had a house, had a job, had a bigger plan
Till I shot a man
Caught up in a jam
Wound up in a brawl
Had a ball till last call, lost it all, took a fall for the alcohol
I done seen it all

Running till you're dead and I'm ready, full throttle
Ain't no excuses at the bottom of the bottle
But it sure feel good and it helps the time pass away
When living through the pain is just secondary nature
The men, they wanna hate ya, and the women wanna chase ya
The guilt you carried with you ain't never getting out of your way

I'm a simple man
Don't need much of a crutch, just a shot, and a beer, and my gun in hand
Hope you understand
I ain't here for long
But I know I showed up every time I was asked
Whether I was right or wrong
Right where I belong

Running till you're dead and I'm ready, full throttle
Ain't no excuses at the bottom of the bottle
But it sure feel good and it helps the time pass away
When living through the pain is just secondary nature
The men, they wanna hate ya, and the women wanna chase ya
The guilt you carried with you ain't never getting out of your way

I'm a lonely man
With a heart full of gold and a broken old soul
That's just what I am
Doing what I can

Running till you're dead and I'm ready, full throttle
Ain't no excuses at the bottom of the bottle
But it sure feel good and it helps the time pass away
When living through the pain is just secondary nature
The men, they wanna hate ya, and the women wanna chase ya
The guilt you carried with you ain't never getting out of your way

Running till you're dead and I'm ready, full throttle
Ain't no excuses at the bottom of the bottle
But it sure feel good and it helps the time pass away
When living through the pain is just secondary nature
The men, they wanna hate ya, and the women wanna chase ya
The guilt you carried with you ain't never getting out of your way

Never getting out of your way
