Back

(album: Fired Up - 2016)

Staring my life through a rolled down window
Reminiscing those main streets nights with the radio loud
Just I like I did when I was a kid
I was cool as hell, bad to the bone, I knew it all
I remember that needle buzzing ink, got that cross in my forearm
Hit it pretty good 'til that summer working on the farm
Talk about dad, talk about mad
Giving me the talk about

Was I the kinda man
Who gave his word when he shook a hand
Did I get it so wrong, just to get it right
For once in my life and would I live it twice
Did I fill my boots with every step I made
Did I walk all over my daddy's good name
Am I gonna see the me I was born to be
From where I'm at
When I look back

To a right at the light steeple that I ran from
Feeling one of those stained glass flashbacks coming on
Ain't been inside since daddy died
Took the end of his own life to get me thinking 'bout mine

Was I the kinda man
Who gave his word when he shook a hand
Did I get it so wrong, just to get it right
For once in my life and would I live it twice
Did I fill my boots with every step I made
Did I walk all over my daddy's good name
Am I gonna see the me I was born to be
From where I'm at
When I look back
When I look back

Yeah when I stand before God at the end of my life
Will the tears turn to smiles that I leave behind
Did I use to all the good
Did I give all the love that I had inside

Was I the kinda man
Who gave his word when he shook a hand
Did I get it so wrong, just to get it right
For once in my life and would I live it twice
Did I fill my boots with every step I made
Did I walk all over my daddy's good name
Am I gonna see the me I was born to be
From where I'm at
When I look back
Hmm when I look back

Staring my life through a rolled down window
Reminiscing those main streets nights with the radio loud
Just I like I did when I was a kid
