The List

[Verse 1]

Well, I wish time had a throttle

I wish years had changed your mind

I'm peelin' labels off the bottle

'Til that clear green glass can finally get it's chance to shine

But I ain't gonna make excuses

I've since lost all track

Of my demons and their muses

So if you're still keepin' score, then you can keep your heart attack

[Chorus]

Oh, make me a list, do what you gotta do

You heard stories about my past and they're probably true

Hey, make me a list, aw, that'll be fine

If you wanna sling mud in my face

Tell you what, you can get to the back of the line

I don't livе in the past, it ain't gonna last

And the years ain't always been kind

But that list of things you don't likе about me

Is gonna be shorter than mine

[Verse 2]

Well, I don't mind keepin' pictures

I don't wear those shoes no more

And the sweet ol' winds of change

Took a while to call my name

But now and then, those sleepin' dogs

Come howlin' at my door

[Chorus]

Ow, make me a list, do what you gotta do

You heard stories about my past and they're probably true

Aw, make me a list, hey, that'll be fine

If you wanna sling mud in my face

Tell you what, you can get to the back of the line

I don't live in the past, it ain't gonna last

And the years ain't always been kind

But that list of things you don't like about me

Is gonna be shorter than mine

[Bridge]

Now I ain't here to make excuses

And I've since lost all track

Of my demons and their muses

So if you're still keepin' score, then you can keep your heart attack

[Chorus]

Hell, make me a list, do what you gotta do

Y'all heard stories about my past and they're probably true

Oh, make me a list, oh, that'll be fine

If you wanna sling mud in my face

Tell you what, you can get to the back of the line

I don't live in the past, it ain't gonna last

And the years ain't always been kind

But that list of things you don't like about me

Is bound to be shorter than mine

Hey, that list of things you don't like about me

Has gotta be shorter than mine
