"Don't It" Lyrics

thirteen in the thick of a cornfield
learned to fight, keep rows tight, and not chill
never did change states, strange
hopped a train first chance to get out of smallville
life has it's way of moving you on, don't it?

my first stop was a pawn stop
dropped a pretty penny for a cheap fender with a song in it
had a quick right hand, an old van
i thought good friends would make a good band
life has it's way of proving you wrong, don't it?

and i've been right and i've been wrong
somewhere in between for so long
lived the light, missed the night, and i've been shown it
life has it's way of keeping you strong, don't it?

so there i was a long way from nowhere
fried mind, spare time, and a blank stare
i was just numb enough not to feel a thing
after all we didn't share a set of rings
besides how bad could it be
she'd never find out, i'd never come clean
life has it's way of leading you on, don't it

and i've been right and i've been wrong
somewhere in between for so long
lived the light, missed the night, and i've been shown it
life has it's way of keeping you strong, don't it?

well now have you ever been down
the old back road on time borrowed
it's a trip, it's a bitch, it's an on and off light switch nobody follows
everybody's got their own pass, skeletons to stash
don't look back if you do last
life has it's way of moving you on, don't it?
