Half Haggard and Hurtin’

[Verse 1]
Lord knows this whole world
Is a weary place for the wicked
The long black train rolling out
Everyone's trying to earn them a ticket
Now I can't say if I'm ever gonna make it
But I'll sure as hell'll give it a shot
Now I ain't hopeless, but this faith I'm holding
Is about the only damn thing I've got

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm halfway out of control, done lost my soul
And I don't know if I can get it back
And I'm long gone from anyone that I know
My happy days are surely in the past
I've lived a life of love and loss, I've made mistakes and paid the cost
And drugs and alcohol sure ain't working
I'm a rebel heart without a cause, this lonely life's a heavy haul
Half haggard and hurtin'

[Verse 2]
Now how long can the hands of time
Keep me wandering these streets like a ghost
When every passing sign
Seems to read like an endless gravestone?
I wasn't always meant to be with gravel dirt beneath my feet
But now it seems I'm digging me a home
That gatekeeper's turning the key
Hell, it looks like I'm never going home

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm halfway out of control, done lost my soul
And I don't know if I can get it back
And I'm long gone from anyone that I know
My happy days are surely in the past
I've lived a life of love and loss, I've made mistakes and paid the cost
And drugs and alcohol sure ain't working
I'm a rebel heart without a cause, this lonely life's a heavy haul
Half haggard and hurtin'

[Bridge]
For all the things that I've done
That setting sun's a loaded gun
And God, it just keeps burning
I hope forgiveness comes for all my wrongs
It's Heaven sent, it won't be long
'Fore the devil's knocking, maybe I deserve it
Oh, I'm half haggard and hurtin'
Yeah, I'm half haggard and hurtin'

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm halfway out of control, done lost my soul
And I don't know if I can get it back
And I'm long gone from anyone that I know
My happy days are surely in the past
I've lived a life of love and loss, I've made mistakes and paid the cost
And drugs and alcohol sure ain't working
I'm a rebel heart without a cause, this lonely life's a heavy haul
Half haggard and hurtin'

[Outro]
I'm a rebel heart without a cause, this lonely life's a heavy haul
Half haggard and hurtin'
