Make Em Wanna Change

(album: What If I'm Right - 2021)

It wasn't 'cause I wanted to
I didn't think I even needed to
But when there's stubborn in your small town roots
She think nothing's gonna slow you down

I'd love to chalk it up to growing up
If you ask daddy it was that wrecked truck
And all those prayers that my mama sent up
But that wasn't what turned me around

'Cause for guys like me
That run a little off course
It takes something
Yeah, something a little more

To make 'em wanna straighten up
Wanna be better
Make 'em wanna go to church
And get it more together
Make 'em wanna know they're gonna never wanna ever be the same
Yeah, 'cause guys like me just need a girl like you to make 'em wanna change

You make it look so damn easy
The way you see more good than bad in me
Yeah, girl, you were the missing link
That put this train back on the tracks

'Cause for guys like me
It ain't just something or someone
Naw, it's all about
Finding the right one

To make 'em wanna straighten up
Wanna be better
Make 'em wanna go to church
And get it more together
Make 'em wanna know they're gonna never wanna ever be the same
Yeah, 'cause guys like me just need a girl like you to make 'em wanna change

'Cause for guys like me
That run a little off course
It takes something
Yeah, something a little more

To make 'em wanna straighten up
Wanna be better
Make 'em wanna go to church
And get it more together
Make 'em wanna know they're gonna never wanna ever be the same
Yeah, 'cause guys like me just need a girl like you to make 'em wanna change
Make 'em wanna change
