The Way It Goes

[Verse 1] Woke up in the truck in the parking lot, an empty whiskey bottle in the shotgun spot "Half of My Heart" still stuck in my head, man up in the mirror keeps wishing me dead Money's real good when the week's real long Money ain't shit when you're missing home Tired of these hotels, cold and alone Doing what I can to keep the safety on [Chorus] Gotta get my ass back home to Alabam' I know there ain't a chance in hell they'll ever understand Gotta get my ass back home to Alabam I know they're gonna call mе crazy, but you know I don't give a damn [Verse 2] I've got a beautiful wifе, she's waiting back home, don't know why I ever left her alone I'm missing my kids, missing my house, missing my dog, hell, I'm missing my couch Trying to get it all while the getting is good So call me an outlaw with a gun made of wood The songs are sad and that's the way that it goes When you gave all you had to the goddamn road [Chorus] I gotta get my ass back home to Alabam' I know there ain't a chance in hell they'll ever understand I gotta get my ass back home to Alabam' I know they're gonna call me crazy, but you know I don't give a damn You know I don't give a damn [Bridge] Holding it out, I'm holding it in I'm keeping calm, my patience thin [Chorus] Gotta get my ass back home to Alabam' I know there ain't a chance in hell they'll ever understand Gotta get my ass back home to Alabam' I know they're gonna call me crazy, but you know I don't give a damn I know I'm probably going crazy, but you know I don't give a damn You know I don't give a damn
