Lyrics
I'll smoke til the last drags gone
I will continue smoking until there's no more smoke left.
Drink til they turn off the neon
I will keep drinking until the neon lights are turned off.
I'll do what the hell I want
I will do whatever I want without concern.
I'd say I've learned but I ain't
I might claim to have learned, but in reality, I haven't.
Little more hell raiser than saint
I am more of a troublemaker than a saint.
Don't give a damn what you think
I don't care about your opinion or judgment.
Just like that '69 Camaro rusted by the weather
Reference to a '69 Camaro, symbolizing a past that has weathered hardships.
Had its run in the sun
The Camaro had its glory days in the sun.
Now it's done with the road
Now the Camaro is retired from the road.
With this wild all in my blood

I guess them girls know better

Can't change what's in my veins I'm to blame

When the good ones go

I'm always chasing that wind

But I know this shit's gotta end
A realization that the current lifestyle needs to change.
'Cause I'm sick of watching 'em leave
Expressing dissatisfaction with witnessing good people leaving.
I'm a tumbleweed on the breeze; I gotta be me
Describing oneself as a free spirit, like a tumbleweed carried by the wind.
