Garret Johnston - Treasures for This Boy Lyrics

The writing on the back of my hand ain't
Nothing but a little ink
The bottle underneath the counter ain't
Nothing but a little drink
The picture on my dash, it ain't
Nothing really major
And the bible I sleep next to ain't
Nothing but a stack of paper
To many folks it's just a few small things
But don't nobody know just what they are to me
I guess it's just what I've put behind 'em that
Turns into treasures for this boy
I guess it's the way I show my colors
That turns it into something full of joy
The way I wear my heart on my sleeve
That makes these things just a little more for me
The way she looks at me, it ain't
Nothing but a good night
The sign above the window there ain't
Nothing but a neon light
The guitar sitting in my lap ain't
Nothing but a couple strings
And the front door to my grandma's house ain't
Nothing but a little screen
Oh, I guess it's just what I've put behind 'em that
Turns into treasures for this boy
I guess it's the way I show my colors
That turns it into something full of joy
The way I wear my heart on my sleeve
Oh it makes these things just a little more for me
I guess it's just what I've put behind 'em that
Turns into treasures for this boy
I guess it's the way I show my colors
That turns it into something full of joy
The way I wear my heart on my sleeve
The way it all don't mean too much, it seems
That makes these things just a little more for me
