Sometimes I go out driving, most of the time I got nowhere to go I'm 33 years old still running for my life, maybe its time to go back home Safe and easy sounds so good sometimes, maybe it won't leave that much of a hole And then there's a spark of salvation and it testifies through the speakers on the radio Easy don't work with integrity, that's why the righteous road is barren and hard I left some of my friends dead on the shoulder, but they went out fighting and with a broken heart Doin' things the right way The only way to look back on your life is to make sure you have no regrets Never take the easy way out, never compromise, mind your heart, forget your head Never sell out your brothers and sisters, never sell yourself out or short And if anyone attacks part of the family, go to the mattresses, cause its time for the war Many will think that they're part of the family - but they're not, you gotta stay on guard But always let in your brothers and sisters in with the common blood and share an uncommon heart Doin' things the right way The harder it gets - the more that its worth it The more ferocious the fight - your blood boils purer The more you kicked your resolve gets tougher Remember to behold the night - be a fighter and a lover There aren't many of us left - we got to take our chances Hearts on the wire - sweet souls dancing When all bets are off and judgment day comes You're still standing - you f**in won Doin' things the right way
