[Guitar Intro] [Verse 1] Born in the shadow, of downtown lights Raised on the soul, of country nights Mama said boy, keep your head on straight This Time you do it, before it’s too late [Guitar Hit] [Verse 2] Too proud to ask, stayed in the haze Smokin' on peace, through Hard Knock days Thinking about, the things we went through Not a single day, I don’t think of you [Chorus] I’m trying not to do, the things you've done Everything you touch, crumbles under the sun If walking away means seeing you cry This time I will look you right in the eye (Oh Oh Oh! This Time Yeah This Time) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I used my head, and not my heart I knew the truth, right from the start I know you’re gonna, be just fine I’m crossing over, that final line [Bridge & Piano] Burning the map, and clearing the smoke Finding the fire, in words that I spoke Tired of running, from all of my ghosts Paying the price, for the things I love most [Final Chorus/Piano] I’m trying not to do, the things you've done Everything you touch, crumbles under the sun If walking away means seeing you cry This time I will look you right in the eye (Oh Oh Oh! This Time Yeah This Time) [] [Guitar Hit] [Outro] Just take it slow, a day at a time I’m walking away, and leaving it behind The truth is rising, it’s taking me higher I found my way, through the smoke and fire. [] [Guitar Ending]
