Crooked+Straight
(专辑: Things Change - 2018)
My daddy was a
Southern Baptist deacon On the
Good Book I
was born and raised But I
never quite bought into the
preaching Too much fear, too much hate So I
drifted from my faith outta high school I
questioned things that I
could not see That's when they told my dad that we weren't welcome back And they were gonna be praying for me He said "Son, the
road, it ain't easy "It's all just a
series of mistakes "But you gotta learn how to take "The bruises with the
breaks "The love with the
heartache "The crooked with the
straight" I
wandered through my twenties uninspired I
got my education at the
end of the
bar And I
traded in my youth for three chords and the
truth And the
ring of an electric guitar And we made all these plans, we were gonna take a
stand Set out and rise above the
noise But after all those shows we played, their fight began to fade And as they walked away, I
heard my father's voice He said "Son, the
road, it ain't easy "It's all just a
series of mistakes "But you gotta learn how to take "The bruises with the
breaks "The love with the
heartache "The crooked with the
straight" He said "Son, the
road, it ain't easy "It's all just a
series of mistakes "And Son, you might not believe me "But I
promise, you will one of these days "That you're gonna learn how to take "The bruises with the
breaks "The love with the
heartache "The crooked with the
straight"
