I got a brand new car that drinks a bunch of gasI got a house in a neighborhood that's fading fastI got a dog and a cat that don't fight too muchI got a few hundred channels to keep me in touchI got a beautiful wife and three tow-headed kidsI got a couple of big secrets I'd kill to keep hidI don't know God but I fear his wrathI'm trying to keep focused on the righteous pathI got a couple of opinions that I hold dearA whole lot of debt and a whole lot of fearI got an itch that needs scratching but it feels alrightI got the need to blow it out on Saturday nightI got a grill in the backyard and a case of beersI got a boat that ain't seen the water in yearsMore bills than money, I can do the mathI'm trying to keep focused on the righteous pathI'm trying to keep focused as I drive down the roadOn the ditches and the curves and the heavy loadAin't bitching bout things that aren't in my graspJust trying to hold steady on the righteous pathThere's this friend of mine I've known all my lifeWho can't get it right no matter how hard he triesHe's got kids he don't see and several ex-wivesSongtexteAnd a list of bad decisions bout eight miles wideTrouble with the law and the IRSAnd where he'll get the money's anybody's guessHe's a long way off but if you was to askHe'd say he's trying to stay focused on the righteous pathTrying to keep focused as we drive down the roadLike we did back in High School before the world turned coldNow the brakes are thin and the curves are fastWe're trying to hold steady on the righteous pathWe're hanging out and we're hanging onWe're trying the best we can to keep keeping onWe got messed up minds for these messed up timesAnd it's a thin thin line separating his from mineTrying to hold steady on the righteous path80 miles and hour with a worn out mapNo time for self-pity or self-righteous crapTrying to stay focused on the righteous path Aus Songtexte Mania
