Song Info

[Verse 1]
Grew up under
yellow light on the street
Putting too much faith in
the make-believe
And another high school football team
The neighbor’s brother
came home in a box
But he wanted to go,
so maybe it was his fault
Another red heart taken by the
American dream

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
When the lights go out and
I’m all alone again
[Chorus]
Say what you want,
but say it like you mean it
With your fists for once, a long cold war
With your kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
then you’rе done
Done
I do what I want, crying in the blеachers
And I said it was fun
I don’t need anything from anyone,
it’s just not my year
But I’m all good out here

[Verse 2]
Sunday morning
Hands over my knees in a
room full of faces
I’m sorry if I sound off, but
I was probably wasted
And didn’t feel so good
Head full of whiskey but
I always deliver
Jesus, if you’re listening let me
handle my liquor
And Jesus, if you’re there, why do
I feel alone in this room with you?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
When the lights go out
But I’m still standing here
[Chorus]
Say what you want, but
say it like you mean it
With your fists for once, a long cold war
With your kids at the front
Just give it one more day, then you’re done
Done
I do what I want, crying in the bleachers
And I said it was fun
I don’t need anything from anyone
It’s just not my year
But I’m all good out here

[Chorus]
Say what you want, but say
it like you mean it
With your fist for once
A long cold war
With your kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
then you’re done
I do it for my daddy and
I do it for Dale
I’m doing what I want and damn,
I’m doing it well
For me, for me
For me, for me
