My Own Addiction
She’s got her hat on, collar up, and some skinned up knuckles
She’s on her way to the next race, hoping to win a buckle
The trailer’s loaded, the windows are down, and her dog’s riding shotgun
Nothings on her mind except for her soon to be smokin’ run
Last weekend almost broke her; no money to bring home
Now she’s gotta win one, to pay the bills and loans
She swears she’ll quit this lifestyle someday
But today it’s just three barrels, her, and ‘ole Gray
It’s almost as if her body craves the let downs, disappointments, and bad fates
But all is forgotten as soon as she takes off through center gate
Her knees are just a small reminder of all the pain she’s had to suffer
For they are covered in scars and dents, making her tougher
As she pulls up to the arena, a smile crosses her face
Because she knows this is where she’s meant to be, this exact time and place
