So lord, go on and tell me
Will I ever be free
Will my mind become healthy
My momma and daddy spent their whole damned life
60 hours a week to put shoes on my feet
And I thank them every god damn day
But looking at them I can see it in their face
That they're sore, tired, and charred
And I'd do anything to make sure their whole lives ain't hard
But I can't do much right now
On corporate time making pennies and dimes
So show me the way to my heart
Get me where I'm going before I fall apart
Before I fall apart
In my days, I'll quit this damn job
Play music, smoke weed, and get down on my knee to say
Darling, will you spend your whole life standing by me
Hug my mom and say please let me give you a damn good life
Cause you did it for me
But you calmed me with your please don't worry
You'll get there in time
And your daddy's with me so for now I'm just fine
No, I can't do much right now
On corporate time making pennies and dimes
So he'll show me the way to my heart
He'll get me where I'm going before I fall apart
Before I fall apart
