[Verse 1]

There's a pounding in my head

From every run-down bar we've left

And it carries to my bones

Floats in the way that a thundercloud blows


[Instrumental]


[Verse 2]

From the no-sleep hotel nights

To the shame left in my eyes

You can come take all I own

There's a fire in the kitchen that needs to be stoked


[Chorus]

If you find me stoned and out too late

With poison coursing through my veins

It's gonna take more than that to knock me down

I've been here damn near a million times

But that ain't ever changed my mind

If I can't stand, then I'm gonna stand my ground


[Post-Chorus]

Maybe it's in my head

I know I'll live, but I ain't dead yet


[Verse 3]

It's the way you always know

And the way you talk too slow

All the things I can't forget

All the things that make me think of home


[Chorus]

If you find me stoned and out too late

With poison coursing through my veins

It's gonna take more than that to knock me down

I've been here damn near a million times

But that ain't ever changed my mind

If I can't stand, then I'm gonna stand my ground


[Chorus]

Maybe it's in my head

I know I'll live, but I ain't dead yet

Maybe it's in my head

I know I'll live, but I ain't dead yet
