I keep my fist raised up full time against the world Sometimes with the family and sometimes with a girl Yeah, you think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down Well, I'm still hanging on, and I think God takes care of fools I broke a lotta hearts and I broke a lotta rules Yet somehow I survived with a bit of dummy luck But I could never keep that finger from sticking up I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down I'm a grudge-holding jerk who starts feuds with a wink A sharp-tongued S.O.B who speaks before he thinks I've learned from my losses and I know when I'm wrong Still, my life's sadder than an old country song I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down So if you looked at my life, if you took a little peek You'd say, "Good Lord, let it go, man, just turn the other cheek" I don't know how to let it go, I just don't know how to behave I was born with this affliction, and I'll take it to the grave I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down I could never keep (no), I could never keep (no) I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down
