american spirit

I'll wave the white flag if tomorrow you'll take me
Out where the bluebirds sing
Tell me I'm all you wanted
But it gets hard to breathe
When I feel you looking my way
I don't know how to land
If I go to heaven with you
You'll have to hold my hand
And I take it all back
Mm-mm
And I take it all back
Ooh-ooh
I'm not a patriot, but I'd fight a war for you
As long as you promise the uniform's not navy blue
I braid my hair before bed, kinda believe in Jesus
And you smoke too many American Spirits
I held my knees closed in a sweaty surrender
Watching a morning dove
Felt like two birds of a feather
Fighting the urge to run
He said he was gonna protect me
Thought I was safe and sound
Red cheeks in the face of a sinner
Blood on the hunting ground
And I take it all back
Mm-mm
And I take it all back
Ooh-ooh
I'm not a patriot, but I'd fight a war for you
As long as you promise the uniform's not navy blue
I braid my hair before bed, kinda believe in Jesus
And you smoke too many (many, many, many, many)
Don't pretend that I left you behind
You weren't mine at all
I wish I felt good about goodbye
But the cage was too small
Don't pretend that I left you behind
(I'm not a patriot, but I'd fight a war for you)
(As long as you promise the uniform's not navy blue)
You weren't mine at all
(I braid my hair before bed, kinda believe in Jesus)
I wish I felt good about goodbye
(And you smoke too many American Spirits)
But the cage was too small
