I grew up under a yellow light on the street
Putting too much faith in the make-believe
And another high school football team
Neighbors by the game, a woman, a box, but
He wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault
Another red heart dying by the American dream
And I'd feel it there
In the middle of the night, when the lights go out
And I'm all alone, I will, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fist for once, a long cold war
With your kids in the front
Just give it one more day, then you're done, done
I do what I want, crying out in bleachers
And I said it was fun
I don't need anything from anyone
It's just not my year
But I'm all alone, I will, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bend over my knees and I run full of faces
I'm sorry if I seemed off, but I was probably wasted
And it didn't feel so good
Life, I'm a whiskey, but I always deliver
Jesus, if you're listening, let me handle my liquor
And Jesus, if you're there, why do I feel alone?
In this room with you
And I'd feel it there
In the middle of the night, when the lights go out
But I'm still standing here
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fist for once, a long cold war
With your kids in the front
Just give it one more day, then you're done, done
I do what I want, crying out in bleachers
And I said it was fun
I don't need anything from anyone
It's just not my year
But I'm all alone, I will, yeah, yeah, yeah
And say it like you mean it
With your fist for once, a long cold war
With your kids in the front
Just give it one more day, then you're done
I do it for my daddy
And I do it for them
I'm doing what I want
And I'm doing it well
For me, for me, for me, for me
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
