[Verse] I used to never thought I’d meet my maker But now he’s walking with me step by step I used to chase the night with rule-breakers Leaving behind a trail of regret [Prechorus] Mama said “Son You’re slipping away” “Those roads you’re running They won’t let you stay” [Chorus] Some people you find They take over your life They steal your light They dim your fire But the road you choose can turn It can rise And lead you to love Or lead to the wire [Verse 2] I wore a jacket stitched with bad decisions Pockets full of lies Zippers full of shame Every alley whispered new collisions Every streetlight flickered with my name [Prechorus] Mama said “Son Don’t let it consume” “Your heart’s a compass It’ll guide you through” [Chorus] Some people you find They take over your life They steal your light They dim your fire But the road you choose can turn It can rise And lead you to love Or lead to the wire
