Birds fly south when wind blow cold
Children hide when storm clouds blow
The cowboy always rides away
Before he finds a reason to stay
Yeah, that’s just my way
And I’ll never change
It’s in my blood, that’s what you say

Well, I been rocked like a baby
I been shot down, I’ve been shunned
I walked into a perfect love just to let it come undone
I been baptized by the fire, faced my demons one by one
I been lookin’ in the mirror
But, this time I won’t run

Some say I’m the hurting kind
But this is where I draw the line
I’m wakin’ up to the cold, hard truth
Ghosts from the past are no excuse
For the things I do
The way I’ve treated you
For all the hearts I’ve broken in two

Yeah, I been rocked like a baby
I been shot down, I’ve been shunned
I walked into a perfect love just to let it come undone
I been baptized by the fire, faced my demons one by one
I been lookin’ in the mirror
And, baby this time I won’t run
