Out here on my own A little twisted in the saddle Went up sh!t creek Drifted downstream without a paddle Gotta go Before the plan unravels Can't turn back now Looks like I'm headed into battle Defend my life And I will always keep on fighting for it Seems that's what they want from me Just won't let me be You wanna know Everywhere that I travel Don't look now I'm comin' in hot without a rattle Swung low Between the oak and the gavel All that guilt was gone Before the rope unraveled Defend my life And I will always keep on fighting for it Seems that's what they want from me Just won't let me be Don't think you'll ever know Just how far I go To get it right The more you take away You may care for me Or say you're there for me You decide I'm going either way Defend my life And I will always keep on fighting for it Seems that's what they want from me Just won't let me be
