I don't know why I love women That love to do me wrong I don't know why my life sounds like A heart broke country song I ain't really happy Unless the sky starts driving rain Maybe I just get off on the pain And my whole life I been picking fights There ain't no way to win There's a hundred scars I should have run away Now tattooed on my skin There's a side of me that just won't stop Dancin' in the flame Maybe I just get off on the pain 'Cause I love the long shot And the left out lost causes And hanging out in the back of the pack with the dark horses I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can God knows there's no one else to blame Sometimes I think I get off on the pain I wake up every morning, a thousand miles from home Praying for forgiveness For this aching in my bones It would be so easy To find a better way Oh but I know I'll never change 'Cause I love the long shot And the left out lost causes Hanging out in the back of the pack with the dark horses I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can God knows there's no one else to blame Sometimes I think I get off on the pain 'Cause I love the long shot And the left out lost causes Hanging out in the back of the pack with the dark horses I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can God knows there's no one else to blame I know I'm the only one to blame Sometimes I think I get off on the pain
