Hot rubber on the asphalt, fire through the pines
Half a cup of coffee and a pack of smokes to the Oklahoma line
Thinking 'bout grandpa, thinking 'bout home
What the hell I'm gonna say?
Why your baby ran away without even a phone call

I was caught in the moment, living a half life
I'm only waiting to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I make you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
Living the half life

Dogs running down the driveway, wind whistle in my ear
Hopping out the truck to the smell of bacon grease and better years
Mom, I'm still a cowboy, just lost my reigns
While you and dad were getting older
I wish I had gotten sober before he passed away

I was caught in the moment, living a half life
I'm only waiting to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I make you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
Living the half life

Running out of options, falling
Heaven help me, hell won't stop me
Running out of prayers and IOU's

I was caught in the moment, living a half life
I'm only waiting to come down
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
I only hope I made you proud
Between here and there and everything I got
And all that I lost
Living the half life

Living the half life
Living the half life
Living the half life
