[Verse 1] Triple T got tears on the dash White-knuckled grip on that cracked-up path Men keep sayin' what he tried to hide Callin' out his name in the evening ride He heard it once, now he hears it twice Every little wound in the poor boy's life They know his слабes—say it plain, say it loud He been bent low under that talk and cloud [Pre-Chorus] Road keeps rollin', but his heart don't Try to laugh, but the hurt won't Lying Laurie on his mind again He'd run from truth if the truth gave in [Chorus] Triple T, don't break me Triple T, don't shake me I wanna be that man I wanna hold my ground Triple T, don't name me Triple T, don't shame me I'm cryin' down the road Tryin' not to drown (Triple T) (Triple T) [Verse 2] He passed that store with the busted sign Saw his own face in a truck-stop shine Thought about the boys with their clean boots on How they stand so straight while he keeps goin' wrong He said, "If I had one ounce of their spine I'd leave these lies and I'd draw that line" But Laurie calls and his phone lights up And his weak side leans when the tank runs up [Pre-Chorus] Road keeps rollin', but his heart don't Try to laugh, but the hurt won't Lying Laurie on his mind again He'd run from truth if the truth gave in [Chorus] Triple T, don't break me Triple T, don't shake me I wanna be that man I wanna hold my ground Triple T, don't name me Triple T, don't shame me I'm cryin' down the road Tryin' not to drown (Triple T) (Triple T) [Spoken Word] [Female vocals] You can hear the tires hummin' You can hear the truth comin' And every name he throws back Still lands like thunder [Bridge] He ain't proud, he ain't clean Just a lost man in between What he's done and what he's seen What he needs and what he means If he could trade this snake skin For a backbone, for a new grin He'd do it now, he'd do it fast He just can't outrun his past [Final Chorus] Triple T, don't break me Triple T, don't shake me I wanna be that man I wanna hold my ground Triple T, don't name me Triple T, don't shame me I'm cryin' down the road Tryin' not to drown (Triple T) (I wanna be that man) (Triple T) (I wanna hold my ground)
