Bad boy runnin' in the night
they say he's crazy,
he's out to prove them right

Doesn't matter how the story's told
It's the same each time he takes ahold
and forgets to leave it all behind
and walk away

Parts of life he don't remember well
but he's got some wild tales to tell
Some he lived and some he lied
but they can never say he didn't try
to just leave it all behind
and walk away

Swears he's doin' the best
that he knows how,
but not quite sure thats how the story goes
The mirror's the only source of truth
but he don't see the way others do

The smoke and mirrors say he don't care
Won't let you close enough to see the fear
He'll tell a tale to trip you up
for him the thrill is worth the cost

And he can always turn around and walk away.

Broken heart cryin' in the night
hopin' there's still time to make it right
Never wanted to hurt no one,
just got tired of watching dreams come undone
so he took what he could get and walked away

He stands alone in the summer rain
to hide the tears that drown the pain
He prays to God the Bible's true
to get him home when his time is through
So he can leave it all behind
and walk away

Swears he's doin' the best he can
Tries too damn hard to understand
He'd like to put the past
up on the shelf
If he could just find a way
to forgive himself

He's still waitin' for his time to come
still hidin' tears, still on the run
They pray for him in Jesus name
and hope those prayers are not in vain
If he he lives long enough
to walk away

to smile just one time and walk away...

to know well enough to finally walk away.

I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me.

Yo Zaaclindsay,

This is fairly wise.

BTW, that's the way frisbees work.
