[Verse]
Life's a rough rodeo, mind like a freight train
Got demons in my thoughts, meds can't ease the pain
Hit the honky-tonk, whiskey flood my brain
Fiddle playin' broken blues, drown the stress and the strain
[Verse 2]
Banjo strings twangin' round a heart in distress
Met a girl named Mary Jane, said she'd help me repress
Grit my teeth, cowboy boots through the mess
Chasin' peace in the bottle, but it never coalesces
[Chorus]
Boots and bottles, double-edged remedy
Fightin' shadows with claws and energy
Self-medicate, ain't no serenity
But I'm still here, ain't lost my identity
[Bridge]
Fiddler on the roof, cryin' the same song
Broken souls, searchin' where we belong
Hitch a ride on the sad melody, lifelong
Keep on fightin' every right from every wrong
[Verse 3]
Six-string shoulder, walkin' backcountry roads
Carryin' the weight, this mental overload
Found solace in tunes, my cranium's heavy load
Rap rivers flowin', no antidote showed
[Chorus]
Boots and bottles, double-edged remedy
Fightin' shadows with claws and energy
Self-medicate, ain't no serenity
But I'm still here, ain't lost my identity
