Battery Lyrics

I'm broke down here on the side of the road

And I ain't go no triple A

I crashed my car in the middle of nowhere

And my phone's all outta battery

And I can't ask nobody for no help

Cuz I don't trust nobody but me

So I lean my seat back, kick up my feet

Always think better after I sleep

Snow's driftin down and I'm watching my breath

You always said I only loved myself

If that was true I'd be tucked in bed

And there'd still be liquor on my shelf

You always said I'd be the death of you

Before you wised up and ya left

Seems you figured something out

I haven't yet

That north wind shakes the trees to their roots

Yet they stand firm through it all

They bend and they creak, shiver and moan,

And in the morning they're standing tall

I wish I could've been enough

But I didn't know how to answer that call

I could've laid some roots down

Instead I chose the fall

One step forward is all it takes

To get on through the day

But it hurts to think what I could've had

If I had known just what to say

As if the right words could make

The ways I fell short okay

Time I better grow up

Get out of my own damn way
