That's Where it Gets You

Bar fights, bro, he brought more than that.
A go-getter for the wrong types of things.
Sitting at the table demanding stability
and he was the most unstable fighter in the ring.
Watch him go and go and go.
He keeps it true but the truth ain't pretty
when the bills aren't paid and
his wife is pitied.
Nobody can get a word through his head.
The bullets ricochet off him, he said.
Nobody wants to test his claims at all.
They know he's been bluffing, and he's gonna fall.
But one day soon he'll see the stoplight
and he'll think he's entitled to go through.
With the impact fast, his life won't pass
in front of his eyes like they say it should do.
They'll say he was good, say what he would
have done had he survived.
But truth be told
he was way too bold.
That life would have been a lie.
