Perhaps I'll be a bird one day if I am good enough and give up all this stuff I am from a country land where beauty only grows I'd dare not ever go And should you see my sister They will not hear a word you say they don't believe in souls

But everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over, Find a way to make the hurt go away, I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place I'm not gonna lose you 'Cause the passion and the pain Are gonna keep you alive someday Everyone you know, is tryna

Ain't no use in tryin' 'Cause you're runnin' With the fastest girl in town For gettin' into somethin' You got the bullets I got a hankerin'

The cavalries charged When God's on your side Oh my name it ain't nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I was taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in

I still go riding around town Got your rays on and my hats back and we're feeling cool as cash You go sliding through the static trying to find that song you love Smoke rolling up and you showing up like a dime piece in the dust Sunset, twilight, Friday

Can't let you into my mind, yeah 'Member back then you never knew me Now you're tryin' to move me Be brave, be brave Step, step, step, step Step, step to the left, step, step Hey, and now you're tryin' to move me Ay, and to the East Side, to the East

Losin' my balance You don't listen every time I try to, try to And I told you I don't need love, but I might probably fuck it up, oh, ayy (told you) Drinkin' too much, but let me get another cup, oh (told you) Swear I, I, I, I, I, I, I (told you)

I told ya I was troubled You know that I'm no good You had to be a nasty girl and try to play me I could forgive the past, but I never forget it I cheated myself Like I knew I would

I'm just waiting on a friend Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah I'm not waiting on a lady Just waiting on a friend Watching girls passing by, it ain't the latest thing I'm just standing in a doorway I'm just trying to make some sense Out of these girls

But I'm trying just to let you know That I don't wanna cause a scene I don't wanna say what I don't mean But I'm sorry girl, it's time for you to go 'Cause it's true Going in alone, did my time and now I'm done It's so easy All the faces that I see don't
