Lyrics

If it ain't broke, you can bet that I'm gonna break it

If something isn't broken, the speaker is likely to break it.

If there's a wrong road, I'm damn sure gonna take it

The speaker is inclined to take the wrong path or make poor choices.

Where there's smoke, my pocket lighter sparked the fire

The speaker is associated with trouble, and their actions ignite problems.

Where there's blue lights, just read me my rights

When confronted by law enforcement (blue lights), the speaker expects to be read their rights.


No, they don't make guys like me, you get exactly what you see

The speaker asserts that their personality is transparent; there are no hidden facets.

I come from a long line of bloodline that ain't gonna change

The speaker's traits are inherited and unlikely to change due to family history.

So, take your pistol-pointing finger right off of the trigger

A plea to someone not to be accusatory or judgmental.

I know where to aim, hell, I'm to blame

The speaker acknowledges their responsibility for the consequences of their actions.


Where there's a love, I tell ya, girl, I love to hate it

The speaker expresses a complex relationship with love, bordering on ambivalence.

Where there's a "do not touch", my finger print done stained it

The speaker has a tendency to ignore boundaries or rules.

Where there's a train wreck, sit on back and watch me crash

The speaker compares their life to a train wreck, suggesting a chaotic existence.

Where there's a "what you say?" damn right I said it

The speaker doesn't hesitate to speak their mind, regardless of consequences.


No, they don't make guys like me, you get exactly what you see

Reiteration that the speaker's character is straightforward and unapologetic.

I come from a long line of bloodline that ain't gonna change

The speaker's personality is deeply rooted in their family heritage.

So, take your pistol-pointing finger right off of the trigger

A plea to avoid pointing blame or judgment at the speaker.

I know where to aim, hell, I'm to blame

The speaker acknowledges their role in causing problems or harm.


For breaking your heart, taking this living a little too hard

The speaker takes responsibility for emotional pain caused to another person.

Drinking too much and playing too loud, where there's a scar I carved it out

Engaging in excessive drinking and reckless behavior, leaving visible scars.


No, they don't make guys like me, you get exactly what you see

Reiteration that the speaker's true self is evident and unchanging.

I come from a long line of bloodline that ain't gonna change

The speaker's identity is deeply rooted in a family with a consistent bloodline.

So, take your pistol-pointing finger right off of the trigger

A plea to refrain from accusing or blaming the speaker for their actions.

I know where to aim, hell, I'm to blame

The speaker reiterates their awareness of the consequences of their actions.


I know where to aim, hell, I'm to blame, hey

A final assertion of the speaker's acknowledgment and acceptance of responsibility.
