Runnin' Across the Tracks

[Intro]

It's up to you!

[Verse 1]

This ain't no TV show

You watch my head explode

Ten thousand hours everyday

No time to be afraid

Chase out the rattlesnakes

Don't let your fear control your fate

[Pre-Chorus]

The ghost of self-denial

It whispers from the grave

The road you can't rely on

Is a risk that you must take

[Chorus]

I'm runnnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

Oh, I'm runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

I'm pullin' the blindfolds back

On a dead-end life

I'm runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

Oh, runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

I'm gonna escape this trap

Gotta get out alive

[Verse 2]

Stuck in this prison cell

Just like a criminal

I count the years that went to waste

If this road goes to Hell

I'll fight back when I fail

Made a career from my mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]

The ghost of self-denial

It whispers from the grave

The road you can't rely on

Could be your saving grace

[Chorus]

I'm runnnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

Oh, I'm runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

I'm pullin' the blindfolds back

On a dead-end life

I'm runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

Oh, runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

I'm gonna escape this trap

Gotta get out alive

[Bridge]

And every step that I aim to take

(I fall behind, I fall behind)

And every neck that I had to break

(These scars are mine, these scars are mine)

And every day that I pray for you

(I close my eyes, I close my eyes)

At least I can say that we made it through

(The stars aligned, the stars aligned)

The stars aligned

The stars aligned

And words just can't explain the struggle of the dead man's fight

A dead man's fight

And silver spoons can't buy the wisdom of a hard-earned life

A hard-earned life

Every step that I aim to take

(I fall behind, I fall behind)

And every neck that I had to break

(These scars are mine, these scars are mine)

And every day that I pray for you

(I close my eyes, I close my eyes)

And I hope that you make it through

Yeah, I hope that you make it through

It's up to you!

[Chorus]

I'm runnnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

Oh, I'm runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

I'm pullin' the blindfolds back

On a dead-end life

I'm runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

Oh, runnin' across the tracks (And I'll never go back)

I'm gonna escape this trap

Gotta get out alive

[Outro]

And every step that I aim to take

(I fall behind, I fall behind)

And every neck that I had to break

(These scars are mine, these scars are mine)

And every day that I pray for you

(I close my eyes, I close my eyes)

At least I can say that we made it through

(The stars aligned, the stars aligned)

The stars aligned
