All I've ever wanted was an honest life
To be the person that I really am inside
To tell you all the things that I did that night
Sometimes it just ain't easy to live an honest life
All I've ever needed was a little time to grow
A little time to understand all the things that I know
So I can listen to you lovingly
Instead of gettin' up to go
Some people take a little more time to grow
Right when you have it all figured out
Life comes to throw you another doubt
But my head's up high
And I ain't got nothin' but time
To work at livin' an honest life
All I've ever asked for was a way to understand
All of life's lessons the best that I can
How to be honest
How to be wise
And how to be a good friend
Some things take a lifetime to fully understand
Right when you have it all figured out
Life comes to throw you another doubt
But my head's up high
And I ain't got nothin' but time
To work at livin' an honest life
To work at livin' an honest life
