Nothing to lose but patience
A steep hill to climb
We was ahead a wasted
She got me wondering why

So now we cast our tides
It’s easy on on the stage
On the sidelines I don’t know
The feelings all the same
Something strange I’ll never show
Bad tempers got no time
No more tears to cry
But it’s not the time
More life

We came down like the rain did
With that friendly fire
Even friends replaced me
Ain’t no wondering why
I look to your western glow
But southern comfort came with it
Prison tossed your clothes
And every penny that came with it

And so we cast our tides
It’s easy on the stage
On the sidelines I don’t know
The feelings all the same
Something strange I’ll never show
Bad tempers got no time
No more tears to cry
But it’s not the time
More life

You can take my pride
I’ll leave you there
Bad tempers put aside
Take your money I'm gonna ride
Broken strings bring smiles
I'm taking out a loan
Cause history never dies
But my future’s left to write
My future’s left to write
