[ Featuring Robert James ]
Yeah
We used to lock ourselves in your room
Burning incense to cover up the smell of the marijuana
From your mama
You had me burning up every back road
Feeding my gas tank every last one of my dollars
And I wasn't bothered (and I wasn't bothered)
Them miles on that 351 added up to a million crazy nights of fun
We were out of control and going out in flames of glory
And now you're like god damn (god damn)
Now he's riding round with the top down (top down)
Made a big name in a small town (small town)
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now
Hot damn (hot damn)
Now he's riding round with the top down (top down)
Made a big name in a small town (small town)
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now
Love ain't always pleasing, love can be deceiving
You give your heart and then they let it go (let it go)
But it's something you believe in, you know that feeling
When you just let it take control, oh
I'm just trying to do my thing, not everybody else's
I let people go out my life 'cause they was holding me back and
I feel kinda bad but then again I tend to forget
That they was the ones letting me down when I wasn't up at my best
I've had girlfriends say they won't leave, had friends with knives up in my back
Had people make me promises, they didn't follow through with that
Got people hitting my life for reasons involving this money
Goddamn it I'll empty my pockets, what the f*ck you want from me?
They say everybody wanna be famous, everybody wanna find love
But when you put that shit together get ready for the teeth to show
When that red dot's blinking good luck being yourself
I get anxiety at these labels in Nashville myself
And I'll be sitting at a meeting till the business talk is faded
Just wishing I could be with you with a day well wasted
But these sold out shows are calling my name and they wanting the encore
But all I want is you laughing, dropping the joint in the floorboard
And now you're like god damn (god damn)
Now he's riding round with the top down (top down)
Made a big name in a small town (small town)
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now
Hot damn (hot damn)
Now he's riding round with the top down (top down)
Made a big name in a small town (small town)
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now
Love ain't always pleasing, love can be deceiving
You give your heart and then they let it go (let it go)
But it's something you believe in, you know that feeling
When you just let it take control, oh
It's kinda like fire and ice
Upchurch and Robert James f*cking dynamite
Every minute that we write is an image we bring to life
Trying to make it about the shadows all we got is candle light
Yeah and we're freaky like Houdini coming out at night
Yeah, we're stinky, still you love it, make it a drug you like, baby
You're fresher that the harvest
You walk by, my head spinning, gettin' nauseous
I'm on cloud 9 so high I start coughing
Together we're a promise, more silent than the motherf*cking ground
So stand on it, be the target
Be the smartest, I love you baby since the day we started
Love ain't always pleasing, love can be deceiving
You give your heart and then they let it go
But it's something you believe in, you know that feeling
When you just let it take control, oh
We used to lock ourselves in your room
Burning incense to cover up the smell of the marijuana
From your mama
You had me burning up every back road
Feeding my gas tank every last one of my dollars

And now you're like god damn (god damn)
Now he's riding round with the top down (top down)
Made a big name in a small town (small town)

Hot damn (hot damn)
Now he's riding round with the top down (top down)

Love ain't always pleasing, love can be deceiving
You give your heart and then they let it go
But it's something you believe in, you know that feeling
When you just let it take control, oh
