v1:
grew up under yellow light on the street
putting too much faith in the make believe
and another high school football team
the neighbor’s brother came home in a box
but he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault
another red heart taken by the american dream
pre-chorus:
and i feel it there
in the middle of the night
when the lights go out
and i’m all alone again
chorus:
say what you want
but say it like you mean it with your fists for once
a long, cold war with your kids at the front
just give it one more day then you’re done
i do what i want
crying in the bleachers and i said it was fun
i don’t need anything from anyone
it’s just not my year
but i’m all good out here
v2:
sunday morning
hands over my knees in a room full of faces
i’m sorry if i seemed off, but i was probably wasted
and didn’t feel so good
head full of whiskey but i always deliver
jesus, if you’re listening, let me handle my liquor
and jesus, if you’re there, why do i feel alone in this room with you
pre-chorus:
and i feel it there
in the middle of the night
when the lights go out
but i’m still standing here
chorus:
say what you want
but say it like you mean it with your fists for once
a long, cold war with your kids at the front
just give it one more day then you’re done
i do what i want
crying in the bleachers and i said it was fun
i don’t need anything from anyone
it’s just not my year
but i’m all good out here
chorus:
say what you want
but say it like you mean it with your fists for once
a long, cold war with your kids at the front
just give it one more day then you’re done
i do it for my daddy and i do it for dale
i’m doing what i want and damn, i’m doing it well
for me
for me
for me
for me
