I drink too much, I smoke a lot, and they say I drive too fast
Too many times I've laid it all on the line livin' each day like my last
And I've played these cards that I've been dealt, I hold them close against my chest
I don't need no one to save me from myself
Well when I was young there were no carseats so I'm lucky just to be alive
Two little hands on a dusty dash, yeah but grandpa sure could drive
And he drove that truck til the day he died, he never wore his safety belt
He didn't need no one to save him from himself
Kids these days got it made in the shade, but they got a lot of lessons to learn
So every once in a while let 'em play with fire so they can find out how to not get burned
Well my old man is a hell of a guy and he taught us all how to live
My mother's a saint but let me tell you she ain't afraid to tell somebody how it is
And they shake their heads and watch them kids run wild and they wish that they could help
They wonder who is gonna save them from themselves
Who is gonna save them from themselves
