[Intro] (Low piano… slow ticking sound like a clock) Yeah… How I started… How it happened… ⸻ [Verse 1] 45 years… never lived the fast lane… Workin’ with my hands… tryin’ not to go insane… Then the world flipped… pills took control… Watched these people… lose there soul… Doctors, scripts… lines out the door… People sellin’ pills… just to get a little more… I was in the car… just drivin’ around… Didn’t know… I was losin’ my ground… One small move… turned into two… Then I crossed that line… I said I’d never do… Told myself, “Just this… then I’m done…” But that’s how it starts… yeah that’s how it runs… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] (Beat builds slightly) You don’t see it comin’… when you step that way… One bad choice… turns to yesterday… ⸻ [Chorus] That’s the line I crossed… can’t erase that mark… Went from livin’ light… to livin’ in the dark… Fast road callin’… had me in its grip… Didn’t even know… was on a sinkin’ ship… Yeah I crossed that line… now I can see… That life don’t give… it just takes from me… If you stand right there… better think it twice… Some roads ain’t roads… they a roll of the dice… ⸻ [Verse 2] Started small… just playin’ my part… But every little move… hit harder on the heart… Told myself I’m smart… I’ll keep it tight… But the world don’t care… if you wrong or right… Every deal made… every mile drove… Felt the weight… in the webs I wove… Still I kept movin’… like I had control… Didn’t know was diggin’… my graves own hole… ⸻ [Chorus] That’s the line I crossed… can’t erase that mark… Went from livin’ light… to livin’ in the dark… Fast road callin’… had me in its grip… Didn’t even know… was on a sinkin’ ship… Yeah I crossed that line… now I can see… That life don’t give… it just takes from me… If you stand right there… better think it twice… Some roads ain’t roads… they a roll of the dice… ⸻ [Outro] (Piano slows… fades…) That’s where it started… Not the money… Not the heat… One line crossed… on a Y-town street…
