Don't It

(앨범: The Big Revival - 2014)

13 in the thick of a cornfield
I learned to fight, keep rows tight, and not chew
Never did change, stayed strange, hopped a train
My first chance I got out of Smallville
Life has it's way of moving you on, don't it?

My first stop was a pawn shop
Dropped a pretty penny for a cheap fender with a song in it
I had a quick right hand, an old van,
I thought good friends would make a good band
Life has it's way of proving you wrong, don't it?

I've been right and I've been wrong
Somewhere in between for so long
Live the night, miss the light, and I've been shown it
Life has it's way of keeping you strong, don't it?

So there I was, a long way from nowhere
Fried mind, spare time, and a blank stare
I was just numb enough not to feel a thing
After all we didn't share a set of rings
Besides, how bad could it be?
She'd never find out, I'd never come clean
Life has it's way of leading you on, don't it?

I've been right and I've been wrong
Somewhere in between for so long
Live the night, miss the light, and I've been shown it
Life has it's way of keeping you strong, don't it?

Well now, have you ever been down the old back road?
On time borrowed
It's a trip, it's a bitch, it's an on and off light switch
Nobody follows
Everybody's got their own past,
Skeletons to stash, don't look back if you do laugh
Life has it's way of moving you on, don't it?
