maybe I wasn't so smart after all

sitting in a strange room in a strange place with a strange woman 
In what seemed like a never-ending cascade of days and nights
some so hazy I'm not sure they were real if it hadn't been for the fresh scars

early winter was not the time to be out on the road on a bike in Colorado but the dim lit bars filled with the smell of stale beer cigarettes and cheap perfume was telling me it was time to go 
besides I knew the fight was coming it was just a mater of when 
not that I was ever one to avoid fighting when it came the time 
I just wasn't sure anymore if she was worth fighting for 
with a hand full of downers and two thirds of a bottle of Jim Beam I was ready to run or rumble and I'm not sure I even cared which

but yeah something in the air was telling Me it was time to go
that two lane blacktop was calling my name 
dressed in My leathers with as many clothes as I could put under them knife in my boot gun tucked under my jacket saddle bags packed ,She asked where the hell I thought I was going 
somewhere warmer than here 
I've decided you're not worth killing a man over your ass

the last thing I heard as I kicked the bike to life 
was something to do with being a no account son of a bitch
Yeah I can live with that 
other than I figured I was at least a smart no account son of a bitch

then again who rides a chopper with a spinger front end over Red Mountain Pass in November ? 

maybe I wasn't so smart after all
