Half Life

[Verse 1]
Hot rubber on the asphalt, fire through the pines
Half a cup of coffee and a pack of smokes to the Oklahoma line
Thinking 'bout Grandpa, thinking 'bout home
What the hell I'm gonna say? Why your baby ran away without even a phone call?

[Chorus]
I was caught in the moment, livin' a half life
I'm only waitin' to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I make you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
Livin' the half life

[Verse 2]
Dogs runnin' down the driveway, wind whistle in my ear
Hoppin' out the truck to the smell of bacon grease and better years
Mom, I'm still a cowboy, just lost my reigns
While you and Dad were gettin' older, I wish I had gotten sober before he passed away

[Chorus]
I was caught in the moment, livin' a half life
I'm only waitin' to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I make you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
Livin' the half life

Runnin' out of options, fallin', heaven help me, hell won't stop me
Runnin' out of prayers and IOUs

[Chorus]
I was caught in the moment, livin' a half life
I'm only waitin' to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I make you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
And all that I lost, livin' the half life

[Outro]
Livin' the half life
Livin' the half life
Livin' the half life
