Julia Bryan and The Last Flight Out - Song For Pete

Well, you never learned to take things in stride
You lived your life with your fist against the sky
Always reachin' a little too far, always wishin' on that same wrong star
In the eye of the storm, never findin' shelter
You smoked and you drank, but nothin' really helped
Now the autumn's comin', your days are gettin' shorter
And your restless heart still gets so bored

You're still glory bound
And the world's tried hard kickin' you around
Now there's nothin' but the fightin' that makes you feel alive
When the wind knocked your cradle down
The bough broke hard and you hit the ground running
And these days you get so tired
But they never could put out your fire

She understands, she makes it better
She heals your wounds the times that you let her
But there's one door you don't let her in
It's where you keep that mustang, still unbroken
Sometimes you wonder if you're just an old fool
There's always one thing, there's always something left to prove
Just out of reach, around the next bend
But the fire still burns, and you'll never surrender

You're still glory bound
And the world's tried hard kickin' you around
Now there's nothin' but the fightin' that makes you feel alive
When the wind knocked your cradle down
The bough broke hard and you hit the ground running
And these days you get so tired
But they never could put out your fire

Still, you keep on running
You keep on running
Tryin' to gain enough speed to set you free

You're still glory bound
And the world's tried hard kickin' you around
Now there's nothin' but the fightin' that makes you feel alive
When the wind knocked your cradle down
The bough broke hard and you hit the ground running
And these days you get so tired
But they never could put out your fire
No, you never could put out your fire
