Faint of Heart

We bought generic coffee from a dusty bottom shelf
I sold sour cream pound cakes on the side to pay the bills
Making supper out of nothin' sure was hard as hell
But man did it sing, when we rang that dinner bell
It’s no wonder why I still drive that Pontiac
My '86 miracle wagon
Nobody hands you a medal when you get through another year
It’ll feel like everyone else had a head start
You’ll have to outrun the devil every time he reappears
You’re taking longshots in the dark
And it ain’t for the faint of heart
Brought our youngest baby with me when I went back to work
We made our own decisions so we doctored our own hurt
We almost lost it all when the shop lost its worth
But at least the kids know how to build a castle out of dirt
Nobody hands you a medal when you get through another year
It’ll feel like everyone else had a head start
You’ll have to outrun the devil every time he reappears
You’re taking longshots in the dark
And it ain’t for the faint of heart
Now my little print shop baby’s trying to pave her way
With a six-string and her hand on the wheel
Nobody hands you a medal when you get through another year
It’ll feel like everyone else had a head start
You’ll have to outrun the devil every time he reappears
You’re taking longshots in the dark
And it ain’t for the faint of heart
