[Verse 1]
A couple tours older, starin' in the bathroom mirror
Feelin' like you buried your heart out in the sand back there
Got a mixed-up mind, worn out boots
And you got more scars than you got tattoos
Brother I've been there too

[Chorus]
On top of the world, pushin' full throttle
'Til you see that stranger there at the bottom of a bottle
Sayin' it shoulda been you who didn't make twenty-one
Now you're sittin' there cryin' with your finger on a loaded gun
Boy you gotta hang on 'cause life is so much bigger
Than what you're gonna find if you pull that trigger

[Verse 2]
When the weight of the war finds a way to follow you home
Brother you got my number just pick up the phone
What's it gonna take to drop that pack
Whatever you want I got your back
'Cause brother I need you too

[Chorus]
When I'm on top of the world, pushin' full throttle
'Til I see that stranger there at the bottom of a bottle
Sayin' it shoulda been you who didn't make 21
Now I'm sittin' there cryin' with my finger on a loaded gun
But I gotta hang on 'cause life is so much bigger
Than what I'm gonna find if I pull that trigger
[Bridge]
I got a six-year-old, a newborn son
A girl who loves me too much to run
This is comin' from a guy who never thought he'd make thirty-one
Yeah, I found my heart and it's hard to do
But brother you can too 'cause I was just like you

[Chorus]
On top of the world, pushin' full throttle
'Til you see that stranger there at the bottom of a bottle
Sayin' it shoulda been you who didn't make twenty-one
Now you're sittin' there cryin' with your finger on a loaded gun
Boy you gotta hang on 'cause life is so much bigger
Than what you're gonna find if you pull that trigger
