LYRIC FOR SALE

By Scott Taylor

Been burning daylight
Like a midnight fuse
Chasing every wild hair
Got too much to lose
Last call bartender
Knows my first name
Another round of trouble
Poured straight from the blame

Save me from myself
I’m the one that keeps on driving off this road
Save me from myself
From every lie I tell when I’m alone
I don’t need an angel made of somebody else
Just somebody standing in my way
Save me from myself
Before I throw this whole damn life away

Mama’s old Bible
Rides shotgun
Unread
Dust on the dashboard
Spins circles in red
You said you’d ride with me
Through rough
Through smooth
But I keep picking wreckage
Over the truth

Save me from myself
I’m the one that keeps on driving off this road
Save me from myself
From every lie I tell when I’m alone
I don’t need an angel made of somebody else
Just somebody standing in my way
Save me from myself
Before I throw this whole damn life away

I don’t need a sermon (no)
Just a steady hand
Someone to grab the wheel
When I can’t even stand
If I slam on the brakes
Will you still stay?
Or watch me spin out
Fade out
Drift away

Save me from myself
I’m the one that keeps on driving off this road
Save me from myself
From every lie I tell when I’m alone
I don’t need an angel made of somebody else
Just somebody standing in my way
Save me from myself
Baby
Teach this fool to stay

Headlights on the blacktop
Breath hangs in the air
If there’s one thing I can’t outrun
It’s staring in that mirror there
Save me from myself
(save me, save me)
