I'll tell you one thing--we grew up the same, Our dad's they'd get drunk most every night. They'd try out they're luck down at the Stardust, Or maybe down at the Golden Nugget sometimes. But now you're talking about change How you're scared and afraid our lives Will grow straight into theirs. You gotta carry on And my grandma, so goddamn head strong But oh how she tended to her roses at night You can't erase it, her dog a princess, But how she raised my old man like a dog. They'd go out on the town, and buy drinks all around While my dad slept in the back of the car You gotta carry on Let go of what you're family is not, It's only your own cross to bear The blood in your veins, bind and tether you in chains Knock another back thinking you ain't the same At every truck stop, my head it gets lost Looking back in my rear view mirror
