The Truth

They say when ya' gonna get a job

Are you gonna go to college

You can't waste your whole life

Singing in some bar

You need a steady boyfriend

You're on the town every evenin'

And every sunday morning we're wonderin' where you are

Girl, what's up with you

Tell us the truth

I'm like

Green grass and clover

High tide and six days sober

All i see in front of me is blue sky

Theres nothin' in my rear view

Nobody tells me what to do

Im not gonna hang around

This one pony town and wait to die

Like you and you and you

And that's the truth

Well this aint what you want from me

I'm not who you want me to be

But i'm not living for you

Im living for me

Everything's gonna work out all right

Everythings gonna be just fine

Grapes gotta spend some time in the barrel

Before they make the wine

You see people, i'm just learnin' how to fly

I'm like

Tupelo honey and carolina moonshine

I get rockin' just after midnight

Turn up the gas and burn this damn place down

I'm a santa ana wind breathin' on a wildfire

Burning bridges and holding on for dear life

Drinkin' in the springtime of my youth

And i aint got time for you, or you or you

And that's the truth

Oh and freedom and free if you're tied down

I can't reach for my dreams if my hands and feet are bound

Let's let loose tonight and have a drink or two

Cause i just want to sing to you and you and you

Green grass and clover

High tide and six days sober

All i see in front of me is blue sky

Theres nothin' in my rear view

Nobody tells me what to do

Im not gonna hang around

This one pony town and wait to die

Like you and you and you

And that's the truth
