Boys Like Me

I can gossip with the best
And I can put my hair like they please
I can joke and I can tease
I can flirt and I can please
Yet I'd rather drink a beer and watch football

I own things in pink
And I swear a martini's a good drink
I can dance and I can love
I can speak my feelings without being drunk
Yet I'd rather just keep my mouth

That's why I hang out with boys like me
They wear the same holey jeans
I'll wear a camo Georgia hat
And won't give a damn if I look fat
In a white tank and boots with stains faded green
That's why I hang out with boys like me
With names like Dave, Dennis, and Kelly
I'd rather sit a bar
And talk shit about my car
Then be a damn sorority
That's why I hang out with boys like me

I could wear a skirt
But those damn heels hurt
I could lay in a tanning bed
But I swear I'd get all red
I'd rather fish in the sun if you'd please

I could put makeup on
And only sing when to chick songs
But I'd rather blast Hank
With two hands full of cold drank
Than play the pretty girl who smiles politely

That's why I hang out with boys like me
They wear the same holey jeans
I'll wear a camo Georgia hat
And won't give a damn if I look fat
In a white tank and boots with stains faded green
That's why I hang out with boys like me
With names like Dave, Dennis, and Kelly
I'd rather sit a bar
And talk shit about my car
Then be a damn sorority
That's why I hang out with boys like me

You could say I ain't ladylike
When I burp and start picking fights
But I swear that's just all me

That's why I hang out with boys like me
They wear the same holey jeans
I'll wear a camo Georgia hat
And won't give a damn if I look fat
In a white tank and boots with stains faded green
That's why I hang out with boys like me
With names like Dave, Dennis, and Kelly
I'd rather sit a bar
And talk shit about my car
Then be a damn sorority
That's why I hang out with boys like me

Sometimes

We're the last hope and fate
For our family to take
We're the last open saving grace
When we posses a flaw
We leave our family at a door
That they're begging us to open
Yes, we try to save
The last word, our last name
Yes, we take all that they can't feel
We get up every day
We take pills, drink the pain
Trying to make it worth the wait

These four years have been the longest
I pray sometimes for God to let it end
When the guilt sets in and there's no way I can win
I take my pain a drop at a time
Oh, yes, sometimes, we're living for all around us

We're the wine, we're the meal
The laat bread for us to deal
The last word in a family tradition
We're a break, we're a bend
We're doing all we can mend
The way time had tolled on our past
Sometimes I will beg
That God will just break these legs
Let me free, for once, for all
Then I think of my fate
Only for my family's sake
Then I choose to take it all

These four years have been the longest
I pray sometimes for God to let it end
When the guilt sets in and there's no way I can win
I take my pain a drop at a time
Oh, yes, sometimes, we're living for all around us

And never has anyone passed the roads we've traveled
And yes, never has anyone tried to force open these doors
And yes, no one has ever told someone they could do it before
God, I pray I can do for them all
Yes, I pray for my family, I can do it all

We're the last dying fate
For our family to take
Yes, I pray I can do it all

These four years have been the longest
I pray sometimes for God to let it end
When the guilt sets in and there's no way I can win
I take my pain a drop at a time
Oh, yes, sometimes, we're living for all around us

Take Me Home

Do you know when I look in your eyes I go speechless?
I may write a lot, but I can't ever speak.
When I see you a million thing come flooding in my throat
Then my tongue won't work, every facility gets weak

If I could I'd tell you all my daydreams
The nights I lie awake to watch you sleep
Something about the way you touch me
Something in the secrets your eyes keep

The stupid things I do are just to watch you smile
And because I don't know ever what to say
We lie there in the dark, holding the silence
I'm praying time to stop and you to stay

I count months, days, to hours, just to be with you
I'll wait months, days, years to see your face
When you're gone I can't be whole until you're here again
When you're away I feel you in this lonely place

So make it stop, slow it down, make you stay
Even if this moment's all we'll ever have alone
No matter where I am, where you are, what you do
You're the only one who makes me feel home
Yes, you're the only one who can take me home.
