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

 Only cowboys and Southern gentlemen
 ♪
 Betting women that will never mend

 They ride the roads as they bend
 ♪
 As they bend to their dead ends

 And now I don't know where I'm going

 All I know is that I'll hit the ground running

 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
 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
 The bitterness is a lowest sin
 ♪
 A bitter man rots from within
 ♪
 I've seen his smile, yellow and brown

 The bitterness has brought him down

 I had to leave the country
 Though there was some nice folks there

 All I know to do is hit the ground running
 Hit the ground running
