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
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
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
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
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
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
