"Choices" lyrics
(feat. Keri Lynn Roche)
Romanticize my silence while I watch the candle burn out
Hypnotized by violence, I didn't know how it would turn out
Took a bumpy path with twisting curves, thought I could manage
Rollin' with the punches, lessons learned take minor damage
Bourbon preachin' sermons and I'm fillin' up collection plates
Hopin' that the song I'm writin' keeps me off of Section 8
Pistol on the table 'cause a pencil took its place
Might not get me any further, but those mistakes you can't erase
But wishin' on a star ain't never get me very far
And the strings on this guitar might never get me out this bar
Take another sip and drown my doubt in Maker's Mark
Hope the chorus on this track don't break her heart
Hey, hey
Choices we made
While in pain
They're all ones we live with today
And if you ever find what you're lookin' for
Don't you look behind 'cause there's nothin' there for
You anymore
Should I be an outlaw, quick on the draw
Be just another good ol' boy who been in trouble with the law
Lookin' for fortune in the streets and acceptance in the sheets
Put the heater on repeat and never leave with the receipt
Or should I take a breath and let it go
Plant a seed of positivity and let it grow
Let 'em see the very best of me and let 'em know
That I'm not the devil in disguise, not a devil in the eyes
So stop believin' all the lies, look to the sky
On my knees, I need a reason
There ain't many in society who grievin' for a heathen
But I'm tryin', I swear to God that I'm tryin'
Sometimes you gotta crack a smile to keep from cryin'
Hey
Choices we made while in pain
We're still waitin' on the day when we came home, yeah
And if you ever find what you're lookin' for
Don't you look behind 'cause there's nothin' more there
Waitin' on you
And if you ever find me
Choices we made while in pain
We're still waitin' on the day to see the light
In your eyes
And should you ever find what you're lookin' for
Don't you look behind 'cause there's nothin' there for
Waitin' on you
Hypnotized by violence, I didn't know how it would turn out
Took a bumpy path with twisting curves, thought I could manage
Rollin' with the punches, lessons learned take minor damage
Bourbon preachin' sermons and I'm fillin' up collection plates
Hopin' that the song I'm writin' keeps me off of Section 8
Pistol on the table 'cause a pencil took its place
Might not get me any further, but those mistakes you can't erase
But wishin' on a star ain't never get me very far
And the strings on this guitar might never get me out this bar
Take another sip and drown my doubt in Maker's Mark
Hope the chorus on this track don't break her heart
Hey, hey
