Intro

 well my little brother's raising hell living down in Texas

 he probably ought to be in jail from the stories that he tells us

 of whiskey nights and rodeos the strippers down in Austin

 he's had himself some real good times if he could just recall them

 now his money's running out and there's a job in his future

 and it's looking like his rambling days are done

 so he's sizing up his choices and a job just ain't one

 he don't know which way to run

 As for you and winter, it may be cold but that don't stop the rain,

 the holes up in your roof make keeping dry a losing game

 the stairwell's always wet , but you wouldn't really mind if

 the tears would dry up in your crying eyes

 Now your boy, he's coming home but that just ain't that good for you

 started ending long ago you know that much is true

 so dry your eyes and say goodbye because he just ain't the one

 decide which way to run

 gonna decide which way to run

 as for me, the same old shit keeps pulling me on down

 I never been quite able to pick myself up off the ground

 always got big plans, but they're always in the works

 and I swear they'll pay off if my luck don't give out first

 well here I am again I don't know if I’m right

 but I can tell you that I’m having fun

 so I give it one more shot because this race, it ain't quite done

 I hit the ground and run

 gonna hit the ground and run

 gonna decide which way to run

 gonna hit the ground and run

 and my little brother's raising hell living down in Texas
