When I was young I didn't look at the clouds and hope for the rain
When I was young I didn't think these lights would ever bring me sorrow
When I was young I thought someday everybody's gonna know my name
When I was young the hardest work I had was waitin' for tomorrow
When I was young I used to wake up early in the morning
When I was young I could climb up a mountain didn't matter how tall
When I was young I didn't listen to anybody's warning
When I was young I could jump; I wasn't afraid to fall
Well now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem
The older I get, the less I know and the more I dream
When I was young I didn't worry about money in my pocket
When I was young I didn't think I'd ever need to buy a diamond ring
When I was young I used to put my heart in a cage and lock it
When I was young I could talk about love but I didn't know a thing
But now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem
The bigger I get, the smaller the world, and the less it all means
When I was young I used to say my prayers without the feelin'
When I was young I didn't worry about the things I couldn't understand
When I was young I didn't know anything about hurtin' and healin'
When I was young I guess I didn't believe I'd ever be a man
But now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem

Well I been thinkin' 'bout droppin' out
And lettin' this old river sweep me into the sea
Do you remember when I sold you my soul?
My God, it's gettin' kinda old won't you sell it back to me?
I been tried and tempted
Tried and tempted
Tried and tempted
Tried and tempted
I been thinkin' 'bout turnin' round
And headin' up the stream to climb a mountain of youth
Do you remember when I opened up your box and let the demons out
They're fightin' nail and tooth
I been tried and tempted
Tried and tempted
Tried and tempted
And it's hard to be strong when you're tried and tempted too long
Well it's hard to be strong when you're tried and you're tempted too long
Well I'd like to be the wind
Don't want to be the sail
I'd like to be the train not the rail
I'd like to be the train not the rail
I been tried and tempted
Tried and tempted
Tried and tempted
And it's hard to be strong when you're tried and tempted too long
Tried and tempted
Tried and tempted
And it's hard to be strong when you're tried and tempted too long
Yeah it's hard to be strong when you're tried and tempted too long

Sometimes I go to the river, just to watch it flow
It ripples and it dances, and I don't know where it goes
You brought me to the edge, but I held you to the ground
I thought I knew better, than to let you in the water
Baby it's time to take your hand and leave behind what I know
Baby it's time to follow you into the river and let go of the shore
Once I thought I knew how everything should be
I would damn up the river, blinded by what I wanted to see
Maybe it's time to take your hand and leave behind what I know
Maybe it's time to follow you into the river and let go of the shore
I tried to change you, I didn't understand
But now all I wanna do is get down on my knees and thank you
Baby it's time to take your hand and leave behind what I know
Baby it's time to follow you into the river and let go of the shore

You give me chills when you sing so sweet
You make me feel it from my neck to my feet
You get me sky high with chicken skin
This must be heaven and I stumbled in
I see your voice when I close my eyes
It's a light shinin' and it's shining so bright
I'm in the shadow of your snow-white wings
This must be heaven and I stumbled in
I stumbled in, I stumbled in
Well I just found heaven with a touch of sin
I couldn't feel any better
You could knock me down with a feather
Cut me in half with a blade of grass
This must be heaven and - I hope it lasts – 'cuz
I stumbled in, I stumbled in
I don't mind the needle and the smoke, And your breath of gin
I just found heaven, With a touch of sin
You give me chills when you sing so sweet
You make me feel it from my neck to my feet
You get me sky high with chicken skin
This must be heaven and I stumbled in
I stumbled in, I stumbled in
I don't mind the needle and the smoke, And your breath of gin
I stumbled in, I stumbled in
I just found heaven, With a touch of sin
A touch of sin

Bet your heart was an ice cube last night
Just chillin' your whiskey blood
Puttin' your mind way outta sight, And that's okay
Cuz you got a smoke ring halo that just won't blow away
And I heard today that you have to go
And I guess we all get carried away
You're just the same with a cigarette jones, and that's okay
Cuz you got a smoke ring halo that just won't blow away
And you deserve better, and that's all I know
And I just hope they get it right in that place that you're going
You used to be covered in a circle of gold
Won't you let some angel blow away your smoke ring halo
We are gonna miss you blowing your horn
And showing us your busted heart
You'd blow so hard your lips are torn, and that's a way
Cuz you got a smoke ring halo that just won't blow away
And we all got things that we can't help
But you always had to take a bullet for a stranger
I heard today you took one for yourself, and that's okay
Cuz you got a smoke ring halo
You got a smoke ring halo, You got a smoke ring halo

I'm gonna give you the wheel; I'm gonna let you drive
But you gotta make me; shoofly pie
You gotta make me shoofly pie
Don't forget the sweet molasses; I won't leave a crumb
Don't you just sit there laughing; When you know how bad I need some
You know how bad; I need some of that
Shoofly pie - shoofly pie - shoofly pie
You can make it for me in the mornin'
I like it if it's hot or cold
Make it for me in the evenin'
Baby when the sun is gone
Make it in the evenin' when the sun is gone
You can make it if the house most late?
You can give it to me right on time
Well I like it in the kitchen, in the living room, driveway
I don't mind if the house on fire, I don't care if the house on fire
Gimme that Shoofly pie - shoofly pie - shoofly pie
Well I may be full of biscuits and wine
But I always have room for that shoofly
Well I like it in the middle of the night
Under the stars and moon
And I get so high on your ever-lovin' pie
I like it from June to June - yeah I like it from June to June
Well I must be blessed 'cuz I have the best
And I've seen the light comin' through your dress
And all my friends they understand why I would kick and cry
Wouldn't mind dyin' for just another piece of that heavenly beautiful
Shoofly pie
Just a little bit of shoofly pie
Shoofly pie
Want another piece of shoofly pie
Shoofly pie
Well I may be full of biscuits and wine

You've come from nowhere, You've shown me everything I'd never seen
You shine a light into the dark of the things that I believe
You wake me up, give me hope, give me peace so I can sleep
You see rainbows when I see rain; Isn't that strange
Don't make me wait for the rain
Don't make me wait for the rain
You've called an end to all the lies, the secrets, and the shame
You say it's only up to me to make a change and take the blame
I wanna know how did you learn the rules and rise above the game
You see rainbows when I see rain; Isn't that strange
Don't make me wait for the rain
Don't make me wait for the rain
Don't make me wait for the next rainy day
When you come wash my trouble all away
I don't mind the pain; But I hate waiting
You wake me up give me hope, give me peace so I can sleep
You see rainbows when I see rain
You see rainbows when I see rain; Isn't that strange
Don't make me wait for the rain
Don't make me wait for the rain

Please pay attention to me
Was the last thing I heard before I drifted to sleep
With children to tend to, and worry in mind
Too much to do, and not enough time
I hate to be needy; Selfish and greedy
But please pay attention to me
Please pay attention to me
Was the last thing I heard comin' out of my dream
I've got something to tell you When the sun has gone down
And if you don't listen, I talk much too loud
I hate to be needy; Selfish and greedy
But please pay attention to me
Why don't you look my way
I'm wavin' my arms and callin' your name
There's too much to mention that grabs your attention
But please pay attention to me
Cuz I could cut myself free
And why should I care if you listen to me
With children to tend to, and worry in mind
Too much to do, and not enough time
I hate to be needy; Selfish and greedy
I hate to keep asking, beggin' and pleading
I'm down on my knees - under your window screaming
Please pay attention to me
Please pay attention to me

Of the two of us I know I've been the fool right from the start
Every other day I fumbled for the light switch to your heart
But lately I've been thinkin' You're gettin' mighty cold
And if it ain't the switch, honey, well it just might be the both?
Oh won't you cut all the lights Mary Anna
Won't you cut all that midnight sun
Won't you cut all the lights Mary Anna
I can't wait for the mornin' - the mornin' to come
Of the two of us I know you've got the looks and all the charm
Every other day I'm humbled just to hold you in my arms
But lately I've been thinkin' You might not give a damn
And I don't wanna be nobody's every other day man
Oh won't you cut all the lights Mary Anna
Won't you cut all that midnight sun
Won't you cut all the lights Mary Anna
I can't wait for the mornin' - the mornin' to come
Yeah mornin' to come
You've been puttin' me on like your make up
And it's lonely in the dark when it's wrong
And honey I'm fixin' to wake up
But I like my lovin' with the light on
Oh won't you cut all the lights Mary Anna
Won't you cut all that midnight sun
Won't you cut all the lights Mary Anna
I can't wait for the mornin' to come

Speakin' of lyin', well I've told a few
And they say that's not what Jesus would do
Well I've been temped red, white, and blue
But you'll understand when you're in my shoes
I was just finding my way
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have climbed so high
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind
Speakin' of bridges, well I've burned a few
It's all about cheatin', and bending some rules
Well it might not sound like what a man should do
But you'll understand when you're in my shoes
That I was just finding my way
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have climbed so high
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind
Speakin' of falling, breakin' in two
Well I'm talkin' 'bout love, and I have a few
But to keep on climbing, and get to the truth
You've gotta burn a few holes in those shoes
If you're gonna find your way
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have climbed so high
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have climbed so high
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have climbed so high
I don't believe; I don't believe I'd have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind

Can't you hear your momma talkin'
She told you to hush your idling tongue
Sit down in your chair, boy
Eat your supper, leave your brother alone
I was once just like you
I was green and blue
Well my mother told my father one day
How much she had loved her life with him
Then she rose up from her body
And she vanished in the blue and green of spring
She was once just like me
Now she's gone into the blue and green
Blue and green; blue and green
