[Verse 1]
Baby's driftin', he ain't got a father
He's not the same as when he got her
And you think you got ahead, you think you found a secret
Tell me instead, how the hell you gonna keep it?
[Verse 2]
It's not the same as when you're in it
Ain't it a shame when you just wanna win it?
When you look at me like that, you know I'm a sucker
And I bet you didn't know we'd go down in the gutter
[Chorus]
I never did set out to be a liar
Tryin' to keep it together while my heart was on fire
[Verse 3]
I hear you're headin' back to the West Coast
I bet you're surfin' and eatin' burritos
There was countryside I wanted to show you
The farm I grew up on, the shit that we went through
