Everyone seems a damn genius lately

Tik-tok talking, late-night tv

And there's still so much that I have yet to know.

We get dressed up just to go downtown

In some ego filled late night crowd

It seems that's where I feel the most alone.

I'd like to get lost on some old back road

Find a shade tree and a honey hole

And talk to my grandpa again.

I see god in everything, trees and pain and nights in spring

So why do I still long for a home.

I'd like to lay in a field on a cozy blanket

And feel the fear of never waking

To know the true warmth of the sun.

I'd like to love my lady long and hard

And lay down lines of laymen guitar

And never leave loving arms again.

My exes hate me and my friends all miss me

I wanna drown in rot gut whiskey

And leave this small town for awhile.

Head to paris on a late-night flight

Find a bar and get in a fight

Write a few poems on a sunny balcony.

I want to be a child climbing trees somewhere

Breathing in the fresh, outside air

Before I knew this life was unkind.

I want a well-trained dog on a couple acres

A kind, kind lady and a place to take her

And a few good friends I can count on one of my hands.

I know I'm bound to die one day, so when I reach those golden gates, I pray to say I did the best I can.

Sit with my mother and the dearly departed

Send a prayer down to the broken-hearted

Let em' know it all turns out just fine.

To know me is to love me and to hate me is to wrong me, I prefer my nights so lonely, I love blues guitar and muscle cars and gin.

I'm a simple man I don't need much just my simple songs and some human touch, I'm tired now so I'm bringing my ass home.

So let me go

Down the line

Let me feel it all

Joy, pain, and sky

Let me go

Down the line

We all burn, burn, burn

Then die.

So let me go

Down the line

Let me feel it all

Joy, pain, and sky

Let me go

Down the line

We all burn, burn, burn

Then die.

So let me go

Down the line

Let me feel it all

Joy, pain, and sky

Let me go

Down the line

We all burn, burn, burn

Then die.
