Twisted

(album: Every Chance I Get - 2011)

[Tim McGraw:]
Woah-ooh-ooh

[Colt Ford:]
It ain't rained in a month
Mama done took a job part time at the five and dime
Lord, times is hard, Daddy's pride is really hurting
Feeling less than a man
Working dark to dark, how much more can he stand
I ain't never seen him cry now I'm 17
Quarterback, first string, gave my high school ring
To the prettiest little girl, green eyes and red hair
I think I might ask her to marry me tonight at the fair
I ain't never been so torn, should I stay or leave
Get out of this small town, am I letting 'em down
I could leave and play ball somewhere in the fall
Leave the big city life, I guess I could have it all

[Tim McGraw:]
Lord, I'm twisted, I feel the stress that's hanging on me
And all this pain in my family, they all depend on me
Lord, I'm twisted, I feel the stress that's hanging on me
And all the pain in my family, they all depend on me
Lord, I'm twisted

[Colt Ford:]
Man, how do you decide between real life and a dream
Loving your Ma and Pa, your girl, and your team
Trying to figure out the next move to make
Trying to figure out the right road to take
Dying to get out, but still afraid to roam
Is it wrong to wanna leave the only place I've known
Life as I know it is just simple and plain
Chores, school, and practice, everyday is the same
I'm tired of the routine and everyone knowing me
I'm dreaming of everything the TV is showing me
They promised me a full ride to UCLA
But that's a whole 'nother world from small town GA
Lord, I'm asking, I hope you hear my prayer
'Cause I'm torn between here and what I see over there
I pray someway that you could give me a sign
Tell me which way to go 'cause I sure don't know

[Tim McGraw:]
Lord, I'm twisted, I feel the stress that's hanging on me
And all this pain in my family, they all depend on me
Lord, I'm twisted, I feel the stress that's hanging on me
And all the pain in my family, they all depend on me
Lord, I'm twisted

[Colt Ford:]
Lord, we're one win away from winning it all
And I'm a plane flight away from seeing my first ball
I can finally see the ocean and stars of Hollywood
Say bye to this damn farm, get a tattoo on my arm
Forget these dirt roads and the way I was raised
Chase the bright lights of the California nights
Sports cars and sushi is all I see
When I order some sweet tea they started laughing at me
Boy, this new life ain't what I thought it would be
Maybe the city life ain't made for me
Now I'm wishing I was fishing on the lake with Dad
And starting to realize being country ain't bad
I miss that ol' farm and that red headed girl
And waking up before the sun to help Daddy get it done
I'm packed and headed back to the place I was born
Proud to be country and no longer torn

[Tim McGraw:]
Lord, I'm twisted, I feel the stress that's hanging on me
And all this pain in my family, they all depend on me
Lord, I'm twisted, I feel the stress that's hanging on me
And all the pain in my family, they all depend on me
Lord, I'm twisted, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Colt Ford & Tim McGraw:]
Lord, I'm twisted, yeah, oh
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know which way
This song is for everybody, no matter whether you're from a small town I need to go, I just don't know
The hood, the big city, it don't matter I'm twisted Lord I'm twisted
Everybodys got their dreams they wanna follow
Some people are ashamed of where they're from Just take me home
They don't know where they're supposed to be Just take me home
Everybody find your place in life, be proud of who you are 'Cause I'm twisted
Don't let nothing hold you back
Just take me home, oh take me home
