Well I thought that growing older
Would mean that I’d grow up
‘Cause there’s things I haven’t done
And things I can’t let go of
Thought I’d settle for a decent job
Quit playing in this band
Pay the bills and take care of
The girl that took my hand
‘Cause I can’t say
I’m born for better
‘Cause there’s no shame
In my Father’s work
I ain’t someone
Deserving of a something
‘Cause when I’m dead and gone
They’ll put me in the dirt
There’s nothing I can say
That ain’t been said before
And there’s nothing I can do
To make you love me more
Spill my heart out on this stage
You spilled your blood then I awoke
But my pride is just the secondhand smoke
‘Cause I can’t say
I’m born for better
‘Cause there’s no shame
In my Father’s work
I ain’t someone
Deserving of a something
‘Cause when I’m dead and gone
They’ll put me in the dirt
