I was a bad reputation with an attitude to match
Hell bent on goin' nowhere and gettin' there lightning fast
Twenty-one and looking thirty but acting half my age
Bound to hit a wall before I ever hit the brakes
Codeine, it got Elvis
Whiskey, it got Hank
I always thought something like that
Might send me on my way
But you took hold of me
Like only a woman can
And gave one good reason to live
To a set on dying man
When a Friday meets a Sunday
You can't help but see the light
I never believed in angels
'Til one believed in me that night
Turned my off track into a straight line
Before I turned into a headline, like
Codeine, it got Elvis
Whiskey, it got Hank
I always thought something like that
Might send me on my way
But you took hold of me
Like only a woman can
And gave one good reason to live
To a set on dying man, whoa
Turned a one-way man one-eighty
Settled down a giving upper
Yeah, you changed a you-can't-change-me
So the world won't see another
Codeine, it got Elvis
Whiskey, it got Hank
I always thought something like that
Might send me on my way
But you took hold of me
Like only a woman can
And gave one good reason to live
To a set on dying man
A set on dying man
