Out here on my own A little twisted in the saddle Went up creek and drifted downstream without a paddle Gotta go Before the plan unravels Can't turn back now, looks like I'm headed into battle Defend my life And I will always keep on fighting for it Seems that's what they want from me Just won't let me be ♪ You wanna know Everywhere that I travel Don't look now I'm comin' in hot without a rattle Swung low Between the oak and the gavel And all that guilt was gone before the rope unraveled Defend my life And I will always keep on fighting for it Seems that's what they want from me Just won't let me be ♪ Don't think you'll ever know Just how far I go To get it right, the more you take away You may care for me Or say you're there for me You decide, I'm going either way Defend my life And I will always keep on fighting for it Seems that's what they want from me
