Lyrics
Gimme your worst I'll cam your fears. I'll get in your dreams I'll bring you back.
It's gotta be hard on your own. Where ya think you're goin' with the bat?
She says I'm gonna wave it to the sky. I'm gonna call this God down and make him look me in the eye and tell me why.
I'm trying to be a good mom. Tryin' to raise a good boy. I could have wrote a country song.
I'm just hear doin' my best. Am I done with this test?
Lord, come on down, grade it, did I pass?
Am I ready for my next level?
Less stress. Just need it, need you now, need your hand.
If you do this once I'll never ask you again
(chorus)
When I think alone I think I want something more than what I wanted ten years ago.
All the while I just needed somebody to tell I'm better on my own. Great on my own.
Even the best can have their fears. Remember the love to bring you back.
Always gotta be ready to go. Get your walkin' shoes on and your cap.
I gotta go while I'm unattached. I'm out the gate, my locks been unlatched.
And I got an itch that must be scratched. Til then I think I'm gonna laugh.
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
I'm trying to move myself along. Trying to keep you in a song.
Remember the love to bring you back.
(CHORUS)
