I remember playing my first bar with
An old mic and a cheap guitar but
It gave me a rush that I ain’t felt yet
Playing music’s like a sweet perfume that
Brings attention from across the room but
It’s filled up my heart with some regrets, like
Chasing girls that are screaming on the crowd floor
Thinking I should maybe walk through a church door
Feeling Jesus knows that I’m a sinner
I got nothing left to lose in these old boots
So I can be a little reckless if I want to
Knowing that I may not be forgiven
I’m standing like a tree that’s lost its roots
If the timber falls, I’ll be bringing you down too
I use heartache as a main excuse to
Hurt people and evade the truth when
I’m the only one I should be blaming
I got lessons from a couple of guys who
Only want to give me strong advice
On how to deal with life as it keeps changing
But I’m too busy cause I’m
Chasing girls that are screaming on the crowd floor
Thinking I should maybe walk through a church door
Feeling Jesus knows that I’m a sinner
I got nothing left to lose in these old boots
So I can be a little reckless if I want to
Knowing that I may not be forgiven
I’m standing like a tree that’s lost its roots
If the timber falls, it could bring you down too
They say the lord is always near to the broken
And just because you find success it doesn’t mean you’re chosen
I think it’s time to find a way down the path I’m going
And be the better version of my youth, so no more
Chasing girls that are screaming on the crowd floor
Thinking I should maybe walk through a church door
Feeling Jesus knows that I’m a sinner
There are people who are countin on these old boots
I shouldn’t be a little reckless cause I want to
Even though I’ve always been forgiven
Now I’ve finally found my grounding roots
The timber won’t fall cause I’m holding you up too
