Lyrics:
Verse 1
Head hangin’ I was kickin’ dirt
Never thought I‘d ever feel worse loosin’ a baseball game
Over my shoulder lookin’ back
I heard em laugh and talkin’ trash so I cut loose with a few choice names
With no one around to break it up
We all threw punches till we had enough
Chorus
Sometimes you just do what you gotta do
There’s no time to hesitate or wait and think it through
You don’t know why that voice inside is all you listen to
And you just do what you gotta do
Verse 2
Middle of the night without a plan
I found some courage in a can and got the nerve to call her then
She snuck out about a quarter to one
Hand in hand we took off runnin in the dark on adrenaline
We spent all night in the back of a barn
And I walked her home in the misty dawn
Chorus – Repeat
Bridge
My buddies, beer and ball games used to take up my spare time
Now its dinner dates and dancing with that girl by my side
Chorus – Repeat
