Monte Carlo

Gold chains and wife beaters

Soft spoken loudspeakers

They called us bottom feeders

good for nothin’ drug dealers

30 spokes leaned back nugget pinky ring

Teachers said we’d never come to be anything

Caught up in a wild dreams

West Nashville Tennessee

Right off the interstate deep inside the city streets

All or nothing ready for whatever trouble brings

That’s just Monte Carlo things

That’s just Monte Carlo things

Life’s to short and we’re driving fast

Fighting demons on this path

Got the devil on our ass

Praying the angels bring the map

Where we’re headed lord only knows

Some young souls on a lonely road

Had no fathers to follow

Monte Carlo

Came up on the concrete down dirt road off a gravel street

Single mother with a only child had my mommas dreams and my daddy’s feet

Don’t bite your tongue say what you mean do as you speak baby play for keeps

This shit ain’t sweet better dig deep sleep is for the weak don’t accept defeat naw

Never buckle just shuffle cards cut the deck and then play your hand

If his heart ain’t right love is not enough gotta let ‘em go you can’t save the man

Never take a hand if you ain’t tried first worked your ass off and gave it all you can

Until that final slow ride in that bow tie stand for god in the devil's land

Stood tall on that concrete with a heart of gold and some lead feet

Kids to feed give ‘em what they need I refuse to be another dead beat naw

Lesson learned as the tires burned been a long road full of sharp turns

Catch all the curves give it gas and swerve eyes on the journey ‘til it’s all a blur uhh

Well I could never turn back now

Came too far to slow it down

Doing the best with all I know

Praying the lord will save my soul
