"Proving Ground" lyrics

Just put the Cadillac back on the road
It's a nice night, baby, and I'm ready to go
There's gotta be some way outta here
To chase down the dreams that we held dear

I ain't gonna lie to you, I wish I could
I just wanna ride with you, till smoke creeps out this hood

There's a cold wind blowing
It's changing, I just know it
For once in your life, you're gonna have to stick around
'Cause you got caught
It's a soft spot
All your life you been taught
A man ain't a man until he's let you down
But if you give me a chance, I'll be your proving ground
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I'm nothing more than a simple man
With hand-me-down dreams and a rock and roll band
Swallowing my pride for you
You know I would
Put it on the line for you
Till smoke creeps out this hood

There's a cold wind blowing
It's changing, I just know it
For once in your life, you're gonna have to stick around
'Cause you got caught
It's a soft spot
All your life you been taught
A man ain't a man until he's let you down
But if you give me a chance, I'll be your proving ground
Yeah

The light may fade
But I'll follow you any place
No pride, no shame
'Cause I want you, and I can't stop this feeling that I got

There's a cold wind blowing
It's changing, I just know it
For once in your life, you're gonna have to stick around
'Cause you got caught
It's a soft spot
All your life you been taught
A man ain't a man until he's let you down
Oh, if you give me a chance, I'll be your proving ground
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I'll be your proving ground
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
