"Growler on the side"

Verse 1:
Iron paradise, chrome and sweat
Middle-aged crisis, drowning in regret
Chemical courage pumping through my veins
Then she walked in, set fire to my chains
Silver fox with danger in her eyes
Every warning sign I'd rationalize
Wedding ring ignored, conscience pushed aside
Trading everything for this forbidden ride

Pre-Chorus:
Should've known better
Should've walked away
But the beast inside
Wanted her to stay

Chorus:
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Playing with explosives, nowhere left to hide
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
When temptation calls, you're gonna pay the price

Verse 2:
Secret hotel rooms, lies upon lies
Testosterone and lust made me blind
Didn't ask about the man she left at home
Thought I was a king, just a fool alone
One fateful morning, heard the door crash in
Military boots, the reckoning begins
"Looks like we have a little problem here"
His words cut through me like a combat spear

Pre-Chorus:
Should've known better
Should've walked away
But the beast inside
Now has hell to pay

Chorus:
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Playing with explosives, nowhere left to hide
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
When temptation calls, you're gonna pay the price

Breakdown:

Bridge:
Fists like hammers rain down on me
Wrestling like beasts, primal fury
Bear fighting salmon, survival of the strong
Every choice I made was wrong
Naked combat, stripped of all my pride
This is what you get with growlers on the side

Guitar solo:

Verse 3:
Broken bones and shattered dignity
Lesson learned in blood and agony
Stolen moments cost you everything
When you play these games, death's the only king

Final Chorus:
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Chasing forbidden fruit, nowhere left to hide
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Respect the boundaries or you'll pay the price
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Some wars you wage, you'll never survive
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Walk away clean or you won't leave alive!

Outro:
Don't be a growler on the side...
Don't be a growler on the side...

Growler on the Side

looking out an open doorway
im all alone again
distant minds divide control
for lust for love a lie

if i cross that line
if i cross that line would i be wrong?
