Star Chambered X

[Verse 1]
I could have been star chambered
On the tree of rock 'n' roll life
Or maybe a railroad wife
I was railroaded once or twice
I might've dodged a bullet chambered
In the alley running for my life
I'm sure that I dodged a knife
I finally learned my lesson once or twice

[Chorus]
A million years ago I took a chance
And let it all unravel slow
I bet on odd 'til I broke even
Then I just had to go
Then I just had to go
Then I just had to go

[Verse 2]
I could've been things I don't remember
A double-crossing wife
I was in another life
I've been buried once or twice
I played sixteen bars and what did I get?
Another town over and covered in sweat
Almost run over
With another hangover and drunker in debt
