Keeps Me Alive - Yelawolf (亚拉狼)/Wynonna Judd[00:00:00]
Written by:Michael Atha/Wynonna Judd[00:00:01]
Way back in Alabama where the dirt roads cut through the woods[00:00:14]
And when it rains you can smell the steam off the grass[00:00:17]
Even dew on the hood of my paw paw's 1985 Chevrolet Silverado[00:00:19]
I must have been about six[00:00:23]
Life was so easy back in the sticks[00:00:25]
16 year old mother fought for the life she wanted for her son[00:00:27]
Lookin' for love in the world of rock and roll is where it begun[00:00:31]
It was Alabama ted Nugent[00:00:34]
Alice cooper randy Travis[00:00:36]
Aerosmith kept my step daddy on the road[00:00:38]
And life it was madness[00:00:40]
Coc*ine and alcohol filled up the house party to be frank[00:00:42]
It wasn't long before I tried it myself and then started to drink[00:00:44]
School became boring and doing my homework became rollin' joints[00:00:48]
Now I'm sixteen like my mama was when she had a little boy[00:00:51]
Can't imagine that now as I look back[00:00:55]
'Cause I got three kids of my own[00:00:57]
And I respect what she went through to pay for food and clothes[00:00:59]
And a home[00:01:01]
'Cause it ain't what she did it's what she didn't do for me[00:01:03]
That brought me to this moment[00:01:05]
And made me who I am on this recording[00:01:07]
This is my story[00:01:09]
This is my glory[00:01:12]
This is what keeps me alive[00:01:16]
This is me flying[00:01:23]
This is me trying[00:01:26]
This is what keeps me alive[00:01:30]
20 years old in the streets and I'm rollin' with gangsters now[00:01:37]
Hip hop is takin' over me my language my clothes my lifestyle[00:01:40]
Antioch Tennessee put me through the school of hard knocks[00:01:44]
And I carry that attitude with me to this day more or not[00:01:47]
And I'm young and hot headed[00:01:51]
Always running from police and skateboardin'[00:01:53]
Graffiti loiterin' I sorta got my peace from the chaos[00:01:55]
Was no mother may I's surrounded by have nots[00:01:58]
And maybe someday I's well[00:02:02]
I was against the grain even when I was growin' wheat[00:02:04]
Got back into rock and roll and then got into poetry[00:02:07]
Started expressin' everything I could through the medium of pen and pad[00:02:10]
Playin' instrumentals off a tape and then over dubbin' what I had[00:02:14]
It was everything because I had nothin'[00:02:18]
And man that was alright 'cause now I had somethin'[00:02:21]
Little did I know that would be the hardest thing to do[00:02:24]
God ever put before me[00:02:27]
So I took a look at what I've been through[00:02:28]
And I made it my glory and this is[00:02:31]
This is my story[00:02:32]
This is my glory[00:02:35]
This is what keeps me alive[00:02:39]
This is me flying[00:02:46]
This is me trying[00:02:49]
This is what keeps me alive[00:02:53]
It's a 2 AM bus 'craw from me at the parkin' lot of wall mart[00:03:00]
Leavin' Nashville Tennessee for a nationwide tour[00:03:03]
My bags are all packed and I'm loadin' my truck to go meet the crew[00:03:06]
And I'm excited to get on the road already one foot out the door[00:03:10]
Turn around and it's my daughter she's cryin'[00:03:13]
'Cause daddy is leavin'[00:03:16]
Knows that I'll be gone for months[00:03:17]
And it hurts and I hate to see it[00:03:18]
Kneel down and tell her look baby I promise I'll call you everyday[00:03:21]
And daddy will send you a present from everywhere that we go play[00:03:24]
But that's not enough and it's breakin' my heart in two[00:03:27]
Just knowin' I can't stay not even to see it through[00:03:30]
And that I can't tuck her in to say goodbye with a grin[00:03:34]
Now she's bein' left behind this is me all over again man[00:03:37]
I picked her up in my arms and held her tight[00:03:41]
And said hey you know what daddy used to be just like you[00:03:43]
When I would walk up to the bus[00:03:46]
And I'd do anything in the world for you so chase your dreams[00:03:48]
One day you'll use everything you've been through to be anything baby girl[00:03:51]
This is my story[00:03:55]
This is my glory[00:03:58]
This is what keeps me alive[00:04:02]
This is me flying[00:04:09]
This is me trying[00:04:12]
This is what keeps me alive[00:04:16]
