That's What I Was Built For (Acoustic)

Miami in my rearview mirror, just west of Manatee Bay

Crossing one of 42 bridges, starting my day

Driving and humming, been a long time coming

There's a girl in Islamorada

Hasn't slept in three or four days

Left her life in Laurel, Mississippi

On a last minute getaway

He tried to control her

Now she needs a drink and a shoulder

I'm headed down to pick her up off the floor

That's what I was built for

True love can never be demanded

True hearts can never be turned

Build my home fires just a little bit bigger

And fight like hell to never get burned

If I get the notion to go live by the ocean

You'll find me right there on the shore

Cause that's what I was built for

Grew up in the shadow of my family

My heart ached to get a little sun

Crowded house but I always felt lonely, like the only one

Who needed assurance

Wading through life's currents

I broke out to search for a little more

Of what I was built for

True love can never be demanded

True hearts can never be turned

Build my home fires just a little bit bigger

And fight like hell to never get burned

If I get the notion to go live by the ocean

You'll find me right there on the shore

Cause that's what I was built for

This world starts over every morning

Chasing its money and schemes

That's okay as long as you're happy with your dreams

I'll take the ocean

Cause wealth is emotion

True love can never be demanded

True hearts can never be turned

Build my home fires just a little bit bigger

And fight like hell to never get burned

If I get the notion to go live by the ocean

You'll find me right there on the shore

Cause that's what I was built for

I take a little love, but I always give more

That's what I was built for

You take a little love, but you always give more

That's what you were built for

We take a little love, but we always give more

That's what we were built for
