Been Around

[Verse 1]
I don't run from guilt you see my conscience lets me know at least a thousand times or better every day
Things I've done mistakes I've made, raised feelings I'll lay in some grave if ever I am finally laid to rest

[Verse 2]
If there's time to pray before I die, I pray dear Lord you know that I was a righteous man that somehow lost his way
Face me down when I shall pass so the world can kiss my ass and Hell can't come and get me from behind

[Chorus]
I've danced in the flames and I've been burned I've walked on the harder side of life, I've takin' all the wrong turns
I've been around, I've been down, and I've been wasted
I fight with myself, sometimes I lose, I got me an angel on my shoulder but I've got the devil too, I get down I get around I get wasted

[Verse 3]
Twenty-seven years along I've tried to make them right all wrong and I've nearly died a few times on my way
Well, I've seen the face of God first hand and I've danced with the devil man, I've needed help and grab for both of their hands

[Chorus]
I've danced in the flames and I've been burned I've walked on the harder side of life I've takin' all the wrong turns
I've been around, I've been down, I've been wasted
I fight with myself sometimes I lose, I got me an angel on my shoulder but I've got the devil too, I get down I get around I get wasted

I fight with myself, sometimes I lose, I got me an angel on my shoulder but I've got the devil too, I get down I get around I get wasted

I don't run from guilt you see my conscience lets me know at least a thousand times or better every day
