Spend enough time around This nowhere small town Sooner or later you're gonna see what kind of Trouble can be found And I was just sixteen Feelin' ornery and mean The Lord took two of my friends that year And left me somewhere in between And if I run outta that fool's luck Oh I'll come out alright Just as long as you're here by my side The only sense I can make After all my mistakes You were the reason the Lord saw fit to Keep me safe You see no thrill was enough Oh till I found your touch To pull me from that path I was on I just needed your love And if I run outta that fool's luck Oh I'll come out alright Just as long as you're here by my side Close calls and close shaves Barely pullin' out of scrapes All the while thinkin' a cat couldn't scratch me But I was just drunk not brave After all I went through To finally bring me to you Now all those wild years behind me Well they just sort of fade out of view And if I run outta that fool's luck Oh I'll come out alright Just as long as you're here by my side And if I run outta that fool's luck Oh I'll come out alright Just as long as you're here by my side
