Nine Lives
(c) Words and Music: Ben Krahne and Donna Aylor

I’ve chased love down a lot of dead end roads
Yeah I crash and burn but that’s the only way I know
But I bounce right back and never accept defeat
And like a barnyard cat I always land on my feet

CHORUS
Around the corner could be disaster
Ev’ry break makes me heal a little faster
Looking back at all those times it’s a miracle I survived
Maybe I’m just lucky or my heart has nine lives

I’ve played around like any ornery stray
Til that Cali girl nearly put me in the grave
She crushed me when she had to chase her dreams
Left me cold but I warmed up to a rodeo queen

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge
Now the good Lord has given me eight so far…
And I hope my next love just loves my scars

REPEAT CHORUS
Around the corner could be disaster
E’vry break makes me heal a little bit faster
Looking back at all those times it’s a miracle I survived
Maybe I’m just lucky or my heart has nine lives
Yeah my heart, my heart has nine lives
