Don't It

[Verse 1]

13 in the thick of a cornfield

I learned to fight, keep roads tied, and not chill

Never did change, stayed strange, hopped a train

My first chance I got out of smallville

Life has it's way of movin' you on, don't it?

[Verse 2]

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, and an old band

I thought good friends would make a good band

Life has it's way of provin' you wrong, don't it?

[Chorus]

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 keepin' you strong, don't it?

[Verse 3]

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 thang

After all we didn't share a set of rings

Besides, how bad could it be!

She never found out I'd never come clean

Life has it's way of leadin' you on, don't it?

[Chorus]

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 keepin' you strong, don't it?

[Verse 4]

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 movin' you on, don't it?
