I'm gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive with you

Just as long as you get out alive of what you're going through

I'm gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive with you

Just as long as you get out alive of what you're going through.

I remember being 12 years old

Growing up is good as gold

And I stopped seeing you around

You were getting high and falling down

I remember being young on the flats, dreamed of leaving and never come back

I looked to you like you'd never die, because you were tougher than the pines.

I'm gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive with you

Just as long as you get out alive of what you're going through

I'm gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive with you

Just as long as you get out alive of what you're going through.

We were barefoot in those hills

We played war and I got killed

Then we'd laugh out in the grass

Too damn young to ruin our past.

And I left town for a long while

Came back down and walked a gravel mile

Just to see how you were doing, trees were burned and the flats were ruined.

I'm gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive with you

Just as long as you get out alive of what you're going through

I'm gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive with you

Just as long as you get out alive of what you're going through.

You were crying in the driveway, telling me you'd gone the wrong way

That this life had cut you down and you were glad I was back in town

You were crying in the driveway, telling me you'd gone the wrong way

That this life had cut you down and you were glad I was back in town.

I'm gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive with you

Just as long as you get out alive of what you're going through

I'm gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive, gonna get out alive with you

Just as long as you get out alive of what you're going through.
