[Verse 1]

A couple tours older, starin' in the bathroom mirror

Feelin' like you buried your heart out in the sand back there

Got a mixed-up mind, worn out boots

And you got more scars than you got tattoos

Brother I've been there too

[Chorus]

On top of the world, pushin' full throttle

'Til you see that stranger there at the bottom of a bottle

Sayin' it shoulda been you who didn't make twenty-one

Now you're sittin' there cryin' with your finger on a loaded gun

Boy you gotta hang on 'cause life is so much bigger

Than what you're gonna find if you pull that trigger

[Verse 2]

When the weight of the war finds a way to follow you home

Brother you got my number just pick up the phone

What's it gonna take to drop that pack

Whatever you want I got your back

'Cause brother I need you too

[Chorus]

When I'm on top of the world, pushin' full throttle

'Til I see that stranger there at the bottom of a bottle

Sayin' it shoulda been you who didn't make 21

Now I'm sittin' there cryin' with my finger on a loaded gun

But I gotta hang on 'cause life is so much bigger

Than what I'm gonna find if I pull that trigger

[Bridge]

I got a six-year-old, a newborn son

A girl who loves me too much to run

This is comin' from a guy who never thought he'd make thirty-one

Yeah, I found my heart and it's hard to do

But brother you can too 'cause I was just like you

[Chorus]

On top of the world, pushin' full throttle

'Til you see that stranger there at the bottom of a bottle

Sayin' it shoulda been you who didn't make twenty-one

Now you're sittin' there cryin' with your finger on a loaded gun

Boy you gotta hang on 'cause life is so much bigger

Than what you're gonna find if you pull that trigger
