Everyone’s ravin’, bout fashions and flair
All the Black Gold in Texas, you can fly anywhere.
What’s it all worth when you don’t have a soul?
When your dreams are all broken, you’re out of control.
I met an ol’ man who once had it all,
Home and family and grand Taj Mahal
But his whole world came down, one cold rainy night.
When he crashed through the rail. Yeah, he took his own life.

Chorus:
Too many times, too many ways.  We all get a warnin’
I’m simply amazed, that I’m still alive, haven’t lost it all yet
There goes a lesson I can’t forget.

Some of the things, I’ve done, in my heart I know
Broken Promises made, the lies that I’ve told.
To the people I love, and some of my friends,
The words in my song are how I make my amends.
But I’m proud to say it’s taken some time
I’ve cleaned up my house.  It’s all on the line.
I know I’m ready, I know where I’ve been.
I know I’ve created my own broken dream.

Chorus:
Too many times, too many ways.  We all get a warnin’
God I’m amazed, that I’m still alive, haven’t lost it all yet!
I know there’s a lesson I can’t forget.
Thank God for the Power, I’ll never forget.

Repeat Chorus

Dedicated to Ryan G.
