down by the racetrack waiting with their signs

the ugly broken people got no place to go

and a guilty boy scout with his conscience in his hand

buys some reconciliation 



(PRE CHORUS)

aint going to be me, no, thinking

aint going to be me, no, thinking

aint going to be me, no

only 29 years left on my loan 



(CHORUS)

you stand there freezing on the side of the road

to remind me of all the good things that i'm so glad I own

the only reason i leave you in the cold

is if i took you home to feed you, you'd be somebody i know

and on the corner you tell me the same old lies

like i believe you gas can guy

every single dollar that i gave you and you drank

how many gallons are in your tank 



(PRE CHORUS)

(CHORUS)

the only reason i leave you in the cold
