Half Life

Hot rubber on the asphalt, fire through the pines
Half a cup of coffee and a pack of smokes to the Oklahoma line
Thinking 'bout Grandpa, thinking 'bout home
What the hell I'm gonna say?
Why your baby ran away without even a phone call?

I was caught in the moment, livin' a half life
I'm only waitin' to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I make you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
Livin' the half life

Dogs runnin' down the driveway, wind whistle in my ear
Hoppin' out the truck to the smell of bacon grease and better years
Mom, I'm still a cowboy, just lost my reigns
While you and Dad were gettin' older, I wish I had gotten sober before he passed away

I was caught in the moment, livin' a half life
I'm only waitin' to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I make you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
Livin' the half life

Runnin' out of options, fallin', heaven help me, hell won't stop me
Runnin' out of prayers and IOUs

I was caught in the moment, livin' a half life
I'm only waitin' to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I make you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
And all that I lost, livin' the half life

Livin' the half life
Livin' the half life
Livin' the half life
