I wonder if it ever crossed her mind
That we were on the same page the whole time
Or did she think I never had a clue
Cold spring winds and a bluebird sky
Could sober up, I swear, the drunkest kind
And make you question everything you knew
I missed a turn out in the city, and I'm not sure if I'll make it home in time
The fog was rolling off the lake, I couldn't even see the exit sign
Does it change a thing, or does it only help you make up your damn mind
My fear is if I'm late again, you'll doubt me, or if I even try
So help me God, if I ain't half the man I watched my father be
Take all that were distractions in the life I try to lead
Put me in the ground so I may rest there peacefully
At least there that I'll be hidden from the things I couldn't beat
The things I couldn't beat
You so often remind me of home, but I left home a long damn time ago
And I left it for good reasons
Sick of all the times I feel I need more
I'll keep fighting every time there's something in this heart of mine
That's too stubborn to give up when I'm down
If there's a time I cross the line, I guarantee that in due time
I'll miss you like before you came around
Does it change a thing, or does it only help you make up your damn mind
My fear is if I'm late again, you'll doubt me, or if I even try
So help me God, if I ain't half the man I watched my father be
Take all that were distractions in the life I try to lead
Put me in the ground so I may rest there peacefully
At least there that I'll be hidden from the things I couldn't beat
The things I couldn't beat
