When I was sixteen my biggest dream was v8 screaming burning gasoline

Flying down back roads, from flashing lights, the first taste of feeling there was more to life

Turned 21 out in Hollywood, had a little more fun than I probably should

Burning both ends until the morning light, caught a whole lot of nothing fishing for those highs

I wanna slow it on down, and lay some roots

But I can’t turn myself into someone new

Blessed my soul and brought me home

Took my flaws and held them all

I wanna change myself for you, but it ain’t no use

I turned 30 with a broken heart. Lost all hope, I was torn apart

No faith left for the days ahead then you walked in and found me there

You turned it all upside down and lit the fuse

Told you I could change, you said “baby what’s the use”

I wanna slow it on down, and lay some roots

But I can’t turn myself into someone new

Blessed my soul and brought me home

Took my flaws and held them all

I wanna change myself for you, but it ain’t no use

I wanna slow it on down, and lay some roots

But I can’t turn myself into someone new

Blessed my soul and brought me home

Took all my flaws and held them all

I wanna change myself for you, but it ain’t no use
