Take it back Sweet revenge I got kicked off Noah's Ark I turn my cheek to unkind remarks There was two of everything But one of me And when the rains came tumbling down I held my breath and I stood my ground

Hold on tight to your old man Under my wing long as I can There was a time when I thought I knew love Until you came into this world Time keeps on flying

From this moment on My dreams came true because of you From this moment as long as I live I will love you, I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give (I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.

Oh, my god, I cry in fear Afraid you have forgot me here Afraid you haven’t gotten long Your quiet dove and faithful son I kept the promises I made I went to work, I worked all day When I wanted to run, I stayed Little children came and grew Moved away

Me and my band of brothers got you covered On the honky tonk front lines Well, we ain't no rookies; it's our third tour of duty Yeah, that's all right I came up through the trenches where We only played for tips and alcohol You find out what you're made

You are rock and roll You and I are rock and roll Came here looking for American soul It's not a place Look around, look around Blessed are the bullies For one day they will have to stand up to themselves Blessed are the liars For the truth can be awkward

Can I be him? When the lights come on and I'm on my own Can I be the one 'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me Will you be there to sing it again? Like it was

You're face to face With the man who sold the world We passed upon the stair We spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there He said I was his friend Which came as some surprise

It's too late to claim your innocence once the trust is broken It was just a little taste, it was so sweet You couldn't imagine in your wildest dreams The walls came down and the heavens opened You think everything's perfect? There's so much wonder here

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks I feel no shame I'm proud of where I came from I was born and raised in the boondocks One thing I know No matter where I go You get a line, I'll get a pole We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole Five-card poker
