Spend enough time around This nowhere small town Sooner or later you're gonna see what kind of Trouble can be foundAnd I was just sixteen Feelin' ornery and mean The Lord took two of my friends that year And left me somewhere in betweenAnd if I run outta that fool's luck Oh, I'll come out alright Just as long as you're here by my sideThe only sense I can make After all my mistakes You were the reason the Lord saw fit to Keep me safeYou see no thrill was enough Oh, till I found your touch To pull me from that path I was on I just needed your loveAnd if I run outta that fool's luck Oh, I'll come out alright Just as long as you're here by my sideClose 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 braveAfter 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 viewAnd if I run outta that fool's luck Oh, I'll come out alright Just as long as you're here by my sideAnd if I run outta that fool's luck Oh, I'll come out alright Just as long as you're here by my side
