You see I grew up as a wild child, played by my own rules Stubborn as a motherfucker, I don’t wanna go to school Math class is boring, recess is old news I just wanna chill and have fun like them older dudes And so I did, and I never gave in With my back to the wind and a goofy old grin I was out for the sting when I wanted that win When they told me I’d lose, I just told them I’d win And I snuck out of class, headed down the road Ventured on home, call me Indiana Ommz Said I’d never look back, I’d just set my own path I don’t need a game plan, I can get my own map 'Til girl meets boy and boy meets girl Never would have thought that she would change his world
I remember that day, when we met up in the rain She just looked me in the eyes, and she said one thing [2x]
Yeah [2x]
Don’t you see what I am? See what I’m doin’? This is my life, don’t you see what I’ve ruined? Drowned my gift, dropped my faith Forgot my dream, I’ve lost my way And there’s nobody to blame, nobody to go to I was doin’ fine, why the fuck did I involve you? Ready as I am I would never get the chance To show you what I dreamt ‘Cause you’d never understand I’m a cowboy by night, rider by the day If I can find a saloon, I can find my way Earn my living with my outlaw winnings Y’all could spend it all with me but I just can’t stay Now everything’s gone, everything’s lost Promises to God, I’ve paid my cost Never would’ve thought that she’d ever let us go But she’s missing in my heart, I can feel it in my soul
I remember that day, when we met up in the rain She just looked me in the eyes, and she said one thing
Yeah [2x]
What’s wrong? Who cares? So long, cold stare I’ve been wrong about everything, you owned me And if I had another chance to try it all again Then you know you’d be looking at the old me So if there’s anything left, anything at all Let me write that song that’ll put you in my arms I can see you’re a star, but please don’t shoot Please, at the least, let me speak my truth “Too little too late,” she whispered in the wind I wish you'd never left, this shouldn’t be the end She always on my mind when I’m thinking in my zone When there’s nothing left to drink and I’m sitting here alone The cards are on the table, the odds are looking grim Indebted to regret, there’s no profit in the win I told her what she meant, just hope she remembers that I sent it with a prayer but she never wrote a letter back
