I left my favorite cassette in the escape car
I'll never hear those songs again
It made me think of all the many things I've sacrificed
Oh, mama, where do I begin?
When I broke bad
I never knew 'bout all this trouble I would have
You should not romanticize this outlaw life
When the scars have been shown and the tales have been told
I'm telling you something's missing
Don't make no excuse to sing the blues
Calculating the cost and the things that you lost
You'll realize love's gone missing
Don't go drifting
I'm losing count when recalling all that I regret
How many missteps are enough?
Who of the few I call friends will be by my side
When, without recourse, life gets tough?
When I broke bad
I never knew 'bout all this trouble I would have
You should not romanticize this outlaw life
When the scars have been shown and the tales have been told
I'm telling you something's missing
Don't make no excuse to sing the blues
Calculating the cost and the things that you lost
You'll realize love's gone missing
Don't go drifting
You should not romanticize this outlaw life
When the scars have been shown and the tales have been told
I'm telling you something's missing
Don't make no excuse to sing the blues
Calculating the cost and the things that you lost
You'll realize love's gone missing
Oh, no, oh, no, no, no
Don't go drifting
