He's a tourist.
He vacations in people's lives, takes pictures
Puts them in his scrapbook, and moves on
All he's interested in are his stories

I speak my life and y'all listen, all the hell that I've been in
I'm hoping if I get it out, one day I'll be forgiven
If I can break with tradition, erase the rulebook unwritten
Looking at my future now like what's the correct decision
With one little change would I still be in this hole
Would it finally fuel the light that's out inside my soul
Leaves me feeling empty with no shoulder to cry on
Standing at the summit like, this the hill I'ma die on
Pick up all the pieces and try to hold it together
Think of brighter days when living through colder weather
Or the day when it finally all means something
Headed wrong way on the tracks and that train's coming

I've made mistakes, I've caused some pain
I only hold myself to blame
It stains my soul with so much shame
Living my life in this cloud of rain
If I passed tonight, would y'all remember my name
In the search for the light, brighter burns out the flame
On a broken road build a brand-new lane
Going Northbound on a Southbound Train

Sometimes I wish I had a little more story to my life
I wish I could go back and do some things right
Wish I left this town, went away to a college
Not stayed home with my friends getting high, I acknowledge
All that mistakes I've made that kept me where I'm at
The things I would change if I only could go back
The things that'd be different if I had better crafts
Leaves me looking back and wondering if it's that
My (father's) up in chemo, I'm down here smoking like a chimney
Only thinking about myself, that's that sociopath in me
I won't change so what I say just means nothing
Headed wrong way on the tracks that dam train's coming

I've made mistakes, I've caused some pain
I only hold myself to blame
It stains my soul with so much shame
Living my life in this cloud of rain
If I passed tonight, would y'all remember my name
In the search for the light, brighter burns out the flame
On a broken road build a brand-new lane
Going Northbound on a Southbound Train

I speak my life and y'all listen, all the hell that I'm living
This music shit ain't taking off, should get back to the kitchen
At 32 you gon' switch it, suddenly change position
Looking back from 37 like man what was you thinking
What was you thinking? What was you thinking
You thinking
Man, what the f*ck were you thinking

I've made mistakes, I've caused some pain
I only hold myself to blame
It stains my soul with so much shame
Living my life in this cloud of rain
If I passed tonight, would y'all remember my name
In the search for the light, brighter burns out the flame
On a broken road build a brand-new lane
Going Northbound on a Southbound Train
