I left my favorite cassette in the escape car 
I'll never hear those songs again 
It made me think of all the many things I've sacrificed 
Oh, Mama, where do I begin? 

When I broke bad 
I never knew 'bout all this trouble I would have 

You should not romanticize this outlaw life 
When the scars have been shown and the tales have been told 
I'm telling you - something's missing 
Don't make no excuse to sing the blues 
Calculating the cost and the things that you lost 
You'll realize - love's gone missing 
Don't go drifting 

I'm losing count when recalling all that I regret 
How many missteps are enough? 
Who of the few I call friends will be by my side 
When, without recourse, life gets tough?
