Ooh, in this prison

Football fields and plastic smocks

So unforgiven

Drag me by my feet for months

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I might be here for awhile

Ooh, drink some liquor

Stay out back and bump a line

Ooh, might make me sicker

'Least it gets me feelin' warm

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I might be here for awhile

I'm a no good, highschool, nothing

Mama says that, "It'll pass"

Blink your eyes and you'll be something

This will all be in the past

I'll say, "Mama, I don't know but I'll sure as hell try"

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I might be here for awhile

Ooh, Music City

It's song bursting and the air is nice

Ooh, time is ticking

Still haven't seen my name in lights

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I might be here for awhile

I'm a no good, Nashville, nothing

Mama says that, "It'll pass"

Blink your eyes and you'll be something

And this will all be in the past

And I'll say, "Mama, I don't know but I'll sure as hell try"

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I might be here for awhile

Be awhile and take some time

Might as well enjoy the ride

Be awhile and take some time

Might as well enjoy the ride

Be awhile and take some time

Might as well enjoy the ride

I'm a no good Nashville nothing

Mama says that, "It'll pass"

Blink your eyes and you'll be something

And this will all be in the past

So mama rest assure that I'll sure as hell try

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I might be here for awhile
