Try Me

I was raised where the fists hit hard Backseat nights in a broken yard Mama prayed through the trailer walls Daddy taught me never crawl Cigarette lungs and a crooked grin Ain’t been clean but I’ve always been The kind of man that the storm don’t move Whole damn world still waitin’ to watch me bleed I got scars like highway lines Burned-in truths and borrowed time If you came lookin’ for a man to shake You picked the wrong damn soul to break TRY ME Go ahead and light the fuse I ain’t got a damn thing left to lose TRY ME Cold eyes, heart still mean Whole damn world still can’t bury me No last words No sleep Boots still draggin’ through concrete TRY ME If you think I break Watch what the fire couldn’t take I know bars that remember my name Know the sound of a midnight train Know the men that talk real loud Till pressure turns ‘em quiet in a crowd I chased headlights half blind Carried dead weight most my life Still stand tall when the smoke rolls in Still got hell underneath this skin Ain’t no saint and I still raise hell Just hard miles and gasoline If you thought the dark would break me You ain’t seen what raised me TRY ME Go ahead and light the fuse I ain’t got a damn thing left to lose TRY ME Cold eyes, heart still mean Whole damn world still can’t bury me No last words No sleep Boots still draggin’ through concrete TRY ME If you think I break Watch what the fire couldn’t take I wore rain like a second skin Slept where the cold wind crept in I been called too rough Too angry Too hard to hold But every scar on me still breathes Every crack still holds heat And I swear tonight— I ain’t goin’ underneath TRY ME Go ahead and light the fuse I ain’t got a damn thing left to lose TRY ME Cold eyes, heart still mean Whole damn world still can’t bury me No last words No sleep Boots still draggin’ through concrete TRY ME If you think I break Watch what the fire couldn’t take Try me… Yeah… Try me…
