Spend enough time around

This nowhere small town

Sooner or later you're gonna see what kind of

Trouble can be found

And I was just sixteen

Feelin' ornery and mean

The Lord took two of my friends that year

And left me somewhere in between

And if I run outta that fool's luck

Oh I'll come out alright

Just as long as you're here by my side

The only sense I can make

After all my mistakes

You were the reason the Lord saw fit to

Keep me safe

You see no thrill was enough

Oh till I found your touch

To pull me from that path I was on

I just needed your love

And if I run outta that fool's luck

Oh I'll come out alright

Just as long as you're here by my side

Close calls and close shaves

Barely pullin' out of scrapes

All the while thinkin' a cat couldn't scratch me

But I was just drunk not brave

After all I went through

To finally bring me to you

Now all those wild years behind me

Well they just sort of fade out of view

And if I run outta that fool's luck

Oh I'll come out alright

Just as long as you're here by my side

And if I run outta that fool's luck

Oh I'll come out alright

Just as long as you're here by my side
