Verse 5: A And you can go on forever and make the same mystakes B Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate A Go on and do until you finally see B What it is that you was that you don't want to be Verse 6: E I was an outlaw I was an in-law I was a scapegoat That was the last straw A I hit the highway Singin' my way But it wound up sounding like you'll never walk alone Verse 7: E I got a story Reflected glory Is the way that i've been seein' for most of my life A I heard the laughter Up in the rafter But i never ever thought that the joke was on me Chorus(x2). |
