Kids these days are just like cars Designed to crumble in a crash I was made like a Cadillac When I'm hit, I hit right back Never taught to say I'm sorry Never admit when I am scared Kids these days are just like cars Designed to crumble in a crash Mother said, "just walk away: We all show love in different ways Like kids these days they're just like cars Designed to crumble in a crash I was made like a Cadillac When I'm hit, I hit right back

When I was a child They taught the ten commandments It was a short while after they taught the parting of the sea I learned there to fear god And avoid excessive laughter Live the law for it will set you free No I dont lie, kill, or take the lord's name Still when I do I do it just to me I heard the voice of god Call down from the mountain Moses get on up, and hear what I will say God reach out his hand, and wrote the ten commandments In exodus and deuteronomy No I dont lie, kill, or take the lord's name Still when I do I do it just to me Well, you know I love my god You know I love my neighbor As long as I don't have to love me I heard the voice of god Call down from the mountain He said, "what you do to him, you do to me"

Fifteen miles from the interstate Just the stars are looking down I close my eyes I'm still in a rage God, I guess I'll turn back round This ain't the life that I planned for us Now I'm counting years that I won't get back I'm racing down a one way track alone I can leave this... But, I can't leave it alone. Well, I walked into the bar last night And I found my favorite chair Annie she looks at me and smile And I wonder if something's there She asks if she can pour a drink And I fumble for words to say She asks if everything's alright And I lie and say I'm ok I can leave this... But, I can't leave it alone I'll accept what I can't change And I'm changing what I can Grant me wisdom to know the difference between both of them I'll accept what I can't change And I'm changing what I can Grant me wisdom to know the difference between me and him I can leave this... But, I can't leave it alone

I never thought I’d love again I thought that that was over But, before I give my heart again I’ll expect a full disclosure I want to have you here by me I don’t need to be rescued So let’s set terms if you agree I’m ready to get closer I will share I will share My last first kiss with you I don’t know where to begin So lets take this very slowly Dancing in the kitchen with my best friend Is the best part of the morning Let go of all our past mistake Know that I am growing I’ll Laugh, lecture, or let you win Let your opinions form me Let me share Let me share The last first kiss with you I won’t share our bed my friend I won’t have any other Tell me straight, don’t lie, bottle up or hide Leave no secrets to discover Don’t stand around asking what to do Please step in and start helping If this is something you can do Let’s make our happy ending Let me share Let me share The last first kiss with you

If I Was God 03:36
If I was god, I'd just save us all Wipe the dirt off of your shoes and come on in I believe that the world is still a beautiful place I'll find a way to make some room and let you in Will you talk to me, honestly I can't see no wheat from the tare Everyone I see is probably An unknown friend who deserves a little care If I was god, I'd just save us all Wipe the dirt off of your shoes and come on in I believe that the world is still a beautiful place I'll find a way to make some room and let you in Every child believes, just like me. That every grandma and grandma makes it there So let's link arms in defiance To live is a triumph And let's all go down together If I was god, I'd just save us all Wipe the dirt off of your shoes and come on in I believe that the world is still a beautiful place I'll find a way to make some room and let you in

Don't Go 04:08
It’s a perfect moment between a thousand breathes and a thousand left C#m A And there’s miles between us and there’s so much to be lost E B And I’m so lost and i’m so wrong and you’re sweet and you’re so strong C#m A And it takes every bit of energy to let you get the best of me. And as far as this goes This is the hardest part I know We can get through this don’t We can’t get through this Don’t go I’ll serve you like a princess like an angel like you’re perfect Cause you’re perfect and i need it and i need you and I need this And you’re so insatiable and I’ve never been in love and I’ll never be enough I’ll never be enough And as far as this goes This is the hardest part I knowr We can get through this don’t We can’t get through this Don’t go And as far as we go This is the only thing I know We can get through this don’t We can’t get through this Don’t go Bridge: And as far as this goes This is the hardest part I know We can get through this don’t We can’t get through this Don’t go And as far as we go This is the only thing I know We can get through this don’t We can’t get through this Don’t go Chorus And as far as this goes This is the hardest part I know We can get through this don’t We can’t get through this Don’t go And as far as we go This is the only thing I know We can get through this don’t We can’t get through this Don’t go

It was the summer you were back from college All the jobs were taken before you arrived I found group of kids a couple years below me At the beaches and the ballfields we spent most of our time I met you through your best friend Who said we aught to be friends You were waiting for your boyfriend who'd be back in July But we got along so easy We were both so young and crazy We slept until eleven because we made out all night Maybe we fall out of love Or love will fall out of style (Still I'm going to hold you the only way I know how) In the night that you came over Nothing could console you You sat on the couch and you started to cry You cut all your hair with a pair of fabric scissors Said everything they taught you is just goddamn lie Maybe we fall out of love Or love will fall out of style (Still I'm going to hold you the only way I know how) When I'm with you it's like a carnival ride Do I put my hands in the air, or I just hold tight You spin me around, sometimes you scare me to death Well, it's just in our nature We're born just like this Maybe we fall out of love Or love will fall out of style (Still I'm going to hold you the only way I know how)

I saw your silhouette come through the doorway You kissed my head, said “I love you” and out in the night. Where you go from here, babe, I’ve got a theory Don’t tell me, it’s more than I can bear Will you circle back or will you call me Or are you nice enough to just stay gone Will you walk it back or say I’m sorry Or leave my heart intact and just move one Just move on Well, your mother called to hear my side of the story As a sign of her support through the years But your keys aren’t in the bowl, by the hallway And I can’t hold you, babe, when you’re not here. Will you circle back or will you call me Or are you nice enough to just stay gone Will you walk it back or say I’m sorry Or leave my heart intact(unkept) and just move one And just stay I am strong enough to take this on Still I worry ‘bout the simple things I hope that you stay warm Father keep her safe now
