Back

Starin' at my life through a rolled down window

Reminiscin' those main street nights with the radio loud

Just like I did when I was a kid

I was cool as hell, bad to the bone, knew it all

I remember that needle buzzin' ink, got that cross in my forearm

Hid it pretty good till that summer workin' on the farm

Talk about dad, talk about mad

Givin' me the talk about

Was I the kinda man

Who gave his word when he shook a hand?

Did I get it so wrong just to get it right

For once in my life and would I  live it twice?

Did I fill my boots with every step I made?

Did I walk all over my daddy's good name?

Am I gonna see the me I was born to be

From where I'm at?

When I look back

To the right at the light

Saw the steeple where I ran from

Feelin' one of those stained glass flashbacks coming on

Ain't been inside since daddy died

Took the end of his life to get me thinkin' 'bout mine

Was I the kinda man

Who gave his word when he shook a hand?

Did I get it so wrong just to get it right

For once in my life, and would I live it twice?

Did I fill my boots with every step I made?

Did I walk all over my daddy's good name?

Am I gonna see the me I was born to be

From where I'm at?

When I look back

When I look back

Yeah, when I stand before God at the end of my life

Will the tears turn to smiles that I leave behind?

Did I use all the good?

Did I give all the love that I had inside?

Was I the kinda man

Who gave his word when he shook a hand?

Did I get it so wrong just to get it right?

For once in my life and would I live it twice?

Did I fill my boots with every step I made?

Did I walk all over my daddy's good name?

Am I gonna see the me I was born to be

From where I'm at?

When I look back

Mmm when I look back

Starin' at my life through a rolled down window

Reminiscin' those main street nights with the radio loud

Just like I did when I was a kid
