Well my momma raised a scrapper and my daddy raised a fool

But I'd straightened up my arrow if it meant I could have you

And those cigarettes are flushed

And the booze is all poured out

But I need you to say yes cause I'm jonesin' about now.

And I took you out that night that I had just turned 22

And you didn't mind the fact that I could not buy dinner for you

You sat down in that gravel and you said "look up at the stars"

And you said that you thought god put us exactly where we are.

I'm exactly where I need to be

Right inside your company

And I never thought I'd be the man that'd fight the devil for your hand

For your hand.

I'd go 90 down the highway

In the sideways pouring rain

If it meant that I could take back

Just an ounce of your pain

And I know I'm about as worthless

As the dust upon the clouds

But there's a way you give purpose

To everyone you're around.

I'm exactly where I need to be

Right inside your company

And I never thought I'd be the man that'd fight the devil for your hand

For your hand.

Well my momma raised a scrapper and my daddy raised a fool

But I'd straightened up my arrow if it meant I could have you.
