[Verse 1]
Have you ever skipped a stone across the water
Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train
Have you ever climbed up on a water tower
To write a name

[Pre-Chorus]
The truth is, every man dies
Not every man lives

[Verse 2]
Have you ever loved someone that you would die for
Have you ever walked too far out on a limb
Have you ever chased a dream too high to reach for
And pulled it in

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth is, every man dies
And not every man lives

[Chorus]
I wanna paint outside the lines, run the red lights in my mind
Take everything one lifetime has to give
I wanna stand inside a fire, walk blindfolded on a wire
Every man dies, but not every man lives

[Verse 3]
Have you ever thought about how fast time passes
Ever thought about what you would leave behind
Ever stood up for somethin' you believed in
And drawn a line

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth is, every man dies
And not every man lives

[Chorus]
I wanna paint outside the lines, run the red lights in my mind
Take everything one lifetime has to give
I wanna stand inside a fire, walk blindfolded on a wire
Every man dies, but not every man lives

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk blindfolded on a wire
Every man dies, but not every man lives

[Outro]
Have you ever skipped a stone across the water
Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train

Jason Aldean

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
