Lyrics

Maybe I’ve been believing, 
nothing was good enough
Always underachieving, 
always giving up
Over worked and over drawn,
hung over and hangin on
By a thread that’s gonna break before too long

And as I’m leavin’ all I ever had
It may not seem like much right now
But in the end, 
That ain’t half bad

I’ve heard the wolves howl at midnight
Beneath the Montana sky
I’ve sat in the Carolina sands and watched the sun rise
My first love was the highway 
We’ve never been apart
She don’t ask too much from me
And she’ll never break my heart

And as I’m leavin’ all I ever had
It may not seem like much right now
But in the end, 
That ain’t half bad
That ain’t half bad

The years go flying by and suddenly you realize
You ain’t got much to show 
And now there ain’t much time for that
Spent the days lovin’ hard and living fast
But I guess that ain’t a half bad epitaph 

It’s been a long, hard journey
And I’m all scarred and bruised
Each scar is a souvenir of a fight I didn’t lose
Now I’m watchin’ that sunrise 
A cold drink in the sand
I swear I hear those wolves a howlin’
Callin’ me home again

And as I’m leavin’ all I ever had
It may not seem like much
But life is so much more than that
As I’m leavin’ my footprints in the sand
They may disappear
But I’ll be back again
I'll be back again

Don’t surrender, 
Don’t look back
If you’ve made it this far,
That ain’t half bad
