Hit the Ground Running

[Intro]

[Chorus]
I had to leave the country
Though there was some nice folk there
And now I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I'll hit the ground running

[Verse 1]
Bony cowboys and Southern gentlemen
Bedding women that'll never mend
They ride the roads as they bend
As they bend to their dead ends

[Chorus]
I had to leave the country
Though there was some nice folk there
And no, I don't know where I'm going
All I know is that I'll hit the ground running

[Verse 2]
I was raised in a pit of snakes
Blink your eyes I was raised on cake
I couldn't memorize a century of slang
Or learn to tell the same story
Again and again and again

[Chorus]
I had to leave the country
Though there was some nice folk there
Now I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I'll hit the ground running

[Verse 3]
Bitterness is a lowest sin
A bitter man rots from within
I've seen his smile, yellow and brown
Bitterness has brought him down

[Chorus]
I had to leave the country
Though there was some nice folks there
Now I don't know where I'm going
All I know to do is hit the ground running
Hit the ground running
