I'm caught in the crossfire with an ear-to-ear grin
They think I'm a loser until they see me win
I'm going to be myself and not who I have been

I'm a cannonball expert and I'm quick on the draw
They know I'm not flawless but they don't know my flaw
I'm going back down south and waiting for a thaw

Mama, they're talking and writing about me again
But I am older and wiser than I was back then

I live for adventure but I don't see it here
Wish me happy travels and choke back a tear
Just close your eyes to me and I will disappear
