Gold chains and wife beaters Soft spoken loudspeakers They called us bottom feeders Good for nothin´ drug dealers 30 spokes leaned back nugget pinky ring
Teachers said we´d never come to be anything
Caught up in a wild dreams West Nashville Tennessee Right off the interstate deep inside the city streets All or nothing ready for whatever trouble brings
That´s just Monte Carlo things
Life´s to short and we´re driving fast Fighting demons on this path Got the devil on our ass Praying the angels bring the map Where we´re headed lord only knows Some young souls on a lonely road Had no fathers to follow Monte Carlo
Came up on the concrete down dirt road off a gravel street Single mother with a only child had my mommas dreams and my daddy´s feet Don´t bite your tongue say what you mean do as you speak baby play for keeps This shit ain´t sweet better dig deep sleep is for the weak don´t accept defeat naw Never buckle just shuffle cards cut the deck and then play your hand If his heart ain´t right love is not enough gotta let ´em go you can´t save the man Never take a hand if you ain´t tried first worked your ass off and gave it all you can Until that final slow ride in that bow tie stand for god in the devil´s land
Life´s to short and we´re driving fast Fighting demons on this path Got the devil on our ass Praying the angels bring the map Where we´re headed lord only knows Some young souls on a lonely road Had no fathers to follow Monte Carlo Monte Carlo Monte Carlo
Stood tall on that concrete with a heart of gold and some lead feet Kids to feed give ´em what they need I refuse to be another dead beat naw Lesson learned as the tires burned been a long road full of sharp turns Catch all the curves give it gas and swerve eyes on the journey ´til it´s all a blur uhh
Well I could never turn back now Came too far to slow it down Doing the best with all I know Praying the lord will save my soul
Life´s to short and we´re driving fast Fighting demons on this path Got the devil on our ass Praying the angels bring the map Where we´re headed lord only knows Some young souls on a lonely road Had no fathers to follow Monte Carlo Monte Carlo Monte Carlo
