[Intro]
    

[Verse 1]

Everyone seems

 a damn genius

 lately

TikTok talking

, late-night T

V
            
There's still 

             
so much I have

         
 yet to know
   
We get dressed

 up just to go

 downtown
        
In some ego-fi

lled, late nig

ht crowd
            
It seems to be

             
 where I feel 

          
the most alone
            
I'd like to ge

t lost on some

 old back road

Find a shade t

ree and a hone

y hole
            
And talk to my

          
 grandpa again

[Verse 2]
    
And I see God 

in everything

Trees and pain

 and nights in

 spring
           
So why do I st

              
ill long for a

      
 home?
            
I'd like to la

y in a field o

n a cozy blank

et
    
And feel the f

ear of never w

aking
            
To know the tr

             
ue warmth of t

    
he sun
            
I'd like to lo

ve my lady lon

g and hard
    
And lay down l

ines of laymen

 guitar
            
And never leav

             
e her loving a

  
rms again

[Verse 3]
   
My exes hate m

e and my frien

ds all miss me
   
I wanna drown 

in rot gut whi

skey
            
Leave this sma

             
ll town for a 

  
while

Head to Paris 

on a late-nigh

t flight

Find a bar and

 get in a figh

t
            
Write a few po

             
ems on a sunny

      
 balcony
  
I wanna be a c

hild climbing 

trees somewher

e

Breathing in t

he fresh, outs

ide air
            
Before I knew 

             
this life was 

   
unkind
        
I wanna well-t

rained dog on 

a couple of ac

res
  
A kind, kind l

ady and a plac

e to take her
            
A few good fri

             
ends I can cou

              
nt on one of m

 
y hands

[Verse 4]
  
I know I'm bou

nd to die one 

day
   
So when I reac

h those golden

 gates
            
I pray to say 

             
I did the best

  
 I can

Sit with my mo

ther and the d

early departed

Send a prayer 

down to the br

oken-hearted
            
Let 'em know i

             
t all turns ou

      
t just fine
   
To know me is 

to love me and

 to hate me is

 to wrong me

I prefer my ni

ghts so lonely
            
I love blues g

             
uitar, muscle 

         
cars and gin

[Pre-Chorus]
      
I'm a simple m

an, I don't ne

ed much
        
Just my simple

 songs and som

e human touch
            
I'm tired now 

             
so I'm bringin

        
g my ass home

[Chorus]
          
So let me go
          
Down the line
              
Let me feel it

  
 all
             
Joy, pain and 

sky
          
So let me go
          
Down the line
             
We all burn, b

              
urn, burn then

 
 die

[Chorus]
       
Let me go
          
Down the line
              
I wanna feel i

   
t all
             
Joy, pain and 

sky
       
Let me go
          
Down the line
             
We all burn, b

              
urn, burn then

[Chorus]
       
Let me go
          
Down the line
              
I wanna feel i

   
t all
             
Joy, pain and

sky
       
Let me go
          
Down the line
            
We all burn, b
