Ive crossed the line
Ive bent the rules
Home of the brave
Red, white, and blue
Ive fought the fire
Running through my head
Stood by and watched
Believed in what they said

Im 40 miles of bad road
A riverbed of potholes
I know, I know, I know where
The money goes
Down a shaft of ratholes
Lowered by my ankles
Where dear dogs lie in the
Afterglow

Ive walked the cage
Ive been in cuffs
Ive done the time
Enough is enough
I know my rights
Know when Im wrong
But nothing seemed to matter
Until you came along

Ive wrapped my wounds
Ive closed my eyes
Escaped to nowhere
Turning back the tide
I asked the sage
What its gonna take
To get out of jordan
With everything at stake
