[length: 04:18]
[00:32.78]Grew up under yellow light on the street
[00:36.74]Putting too much faith in the make believe
[00:40.88]Another high-school football team
[00:48.22]The neighbor’s brother came home in a box
[00:51.45]But he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault
[00:56.56]Another red heart taken by the American dream
[01:03.51]And I feel it there
[01:09.85]In the middle of the night
[01:11.95]When the lights go out
[01:13.93]And I’m all alone again
[01:20.08]Say what you want
[01:21.84]But say it like you mean it with your fists for once
[01:25.89]A long, cold war with your kids at the front
[01:29.82]Just give it one more day then you’re done
[01:35.74]I do what I want
[01:38.08]Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun
[01:41.75]I don’t need anything from anyone
[01:46.03]It’s just not my year
[01:49.63]But I’m all good out here
[01:52.38]Sunday morning
[01:56.25]Hands over my knees in a room full of faces
[01:59.65]I’m sorry if I seemed off, but I was probably wasted (wasted)
[02:04.37]And didn’t feel so good (feel so good)
[02:08.13]Head full of whiskey but I always deliver
[02:11.91]Jesus, if you’re listening, let me handle my liquor
[02:15.91]And Jesus, if you’re there
[02:17.84]Why do I feel alone in this room with you?
[02:23.97]And I feel it there
[02:29.82]In the middle of the night
[02:31.82]When the lights go out
[02:33.74]But I’m still standing here
[02:40.01]Say what you want
[02:41.97]But say it like you mean it with your fists for once
[02:46.02]A long, cold war with your kids at the front
[02:50.03]Just give it one more day then you’re done
[02:56.03]I do what I want
[02:58.28]Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun
[03:01.85]I don’t need anything from anyone
[03:06.09]It’s just not my year
[03:09.54]But I’m all good out here
[03:12.09]Say what you want
[03:14.07]But say it like you mean it with your fists for once
[03:17.98]A long, cold war with your kids at the front
[03:21.88]Just give it one more day then you’re done
[03:27.10]I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale
[03:31.93]I’m doing what I want and damn, I’m doing it well
[03:35.77]For me
[03:37.66]For me
[03:39.66]For me
[03:41.41]For me
