She knows her roots and works hard for her money Ain't nothin' like a woman southern born and bred Now she loves her mom and daddy and the Lord to death Just actin' and sittin' playin' hard to get With the girls tonight man they're out on the town Grits

I'm living on such sweet nothing Sweet nothing So I put my faith in something unknown And it's hard to learn And it's hard to love When you're giving me such sweet nothing You're giving me such sweet nothing

I'm in love, I'm in love Your hands up, your body's shaking That hard look, I know you're faking I know you lie, I've seen you lying With four months in front of me And now we're same old enemies It's cold blooded, come back to me Come back to me I know

It's late - It's late - It's late But not too late You say you love me And I hardly know your name And if I say I love you in the candle light There's no-one but myself to blame But there's something inside That's turning my mind away Woh - how I could

Whatever you do, just don't believe what they say Know that it's true, I know it's hard What they say Just take a little advice from me 'Cause they don't believe you like I believe in you anyway So whatever you do, whatever you do, babe I believe in you

Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much I am my own man, I make my own luck I know I let you down It's hard to stay I'm sorry for how I up and left this town I'm sorry, father Please forgive me I can't remember Please forgive me, no one is calling

There is someone in the attic Building a strange machine Never really seen him But I think he works all day Blinded by the world outside I stay inside Hardly know my name But it's getting better by time I saw something in the mirror

I just wanna talk to ya, talk to ya Maybe I can mend your heart with mine Take you from my broken paradise (paradise, paradise) Take you from my broken paradise I know it's hard to trust someone like me When it's my reputation that's first to speak I

It's gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leaving Now that I know just how much you care You finally gave me one good reason not to go But staying here is my worst fear Last night you gave me a kiss You didn't know it, but I was awake when you did You

I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over Yeah, it's hard when you're young You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard And all
