Muscle Memory

[Verse 1] I read the news every day or I try Switch back and forth between a scowl and a smile People lift me up or drop me flat like a stone But still I want to believe in them My clan comes number one in the fight We brought souls in this world and we'll do it right Though my moods they swing like a pendulum They know where my heart comes from Like our dear departed friend Andy told me It's only water off a ducks back in the stream Face it like a man, face it like a wimp But either way you're facing it [Pre-Chorus 1] Burying your head underneath your feathers signals a swan song Yes, the ride is short but your heritage is long [Chorus] Muscle memory is what I use to carry me Muscle memory, ain't no way I worry 'bout a thing Muscle memory, I reference stuff I know Muscle memory, then put my feet down and go [Verse 2] I want music to bring me down to my knees Make me sob like an infant, make me angry Rip me to shreds, glue me back up Make my mind explode Things that matter I can afford Get my shit together and get onboard Shed every pound, melt it away Rid that overweight load [Pre-Chorus 2] Burying your head underneath the sand is succumbing to the words I can't Okay, the ride may stall but your legacy stands tall [Chorus] Muscle memory is what I use to carry me Muscle memory, ain't no way I worry 'bout anything Muscle memory, I reference stuff I learn Muscle memory, disfigurement I've earned [Bridge] And I wear it like a badge of honor No stone unturned Yeah, it's the bane of my existence To pass the torch in a world of nonsense Shot, a miss So many nights I've toiled over this Once around Crotchety young man, make it count [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I make my own news out on the fly Do much more than I need to get by People lift me up, don't let me drop Or at least have a net there [Pre-Chorus 3] Burying your head in your hands looks like a deserted plan Yes, the ride is short with temptations to abort Okay, the ride may stall, you still sound off the bugle call [Chorus] Muscle memory is what I use to carry me Muscle memory, ain't no way I worry 'bout anything Muscle memory, I reference stuff I know Muscle memory, then put my feet down and go [Outro] And I go, yeah And I go There I go
