There's a grey tombstone reads Pee Wee Gaskins
Where we used to go hang out and hide our beer behind
Playing with fire in the darkest part of Florence County
It's amazing that we made it out alive

I guess the trouble is we were lookin for trouble
Jumpin off a train trestle as high as we could climb
Chuggin stolen whiskey, breakin hearts and seeing double
We would flip a coin and tails you had to drive

Daddy told me don't slow dance with danger
Mama tucked us into bed with words of her own
She said don't take that old road that everybody's taking
When it might ought to be the road you don't

Don't wait too early to ever get married
The real truth ain't always what you've been told
I can't lie, i‘ve taken wrong turns on that long and narrow highway
You can't find happiness til you learn to let it go

We weren't all angels, but I hoped we learned some lessons
Didn't know where we'd land when we did it long ago
Broken hearts and moving parts that don't move like they used to
We used to come and go like nothing but now we like to take it slow
