Every little stop sign
All the red lights like
A preacher on a Saturday night
The devils in the details
Pretty little females
Tell me all your sweet sweet lies

I can't slow down it's so damn loud
Let's burn this town alive
Oh pocket full of moonshine
Countin' all the white lies
Time to take the highway highway highway

Baby take the highway
Ima' take the highway

My bleeding heart
It feels no pain
Too many sins to
Wash away
Into the dark
Into the rain
Together we go
We go insane

Every little stop sign
All the red lights like a preacher on a Saturday night
The devil's in the details
Pretty little females
Tell me all your sweet sweet lies

I can't slow down it's so damn loud
Let's burn this town alive
Oh pocket full of moonshine
Countin' all the white lies
Time to take the highway highway highway

Baby take the highway
Ima' take the highway
Ima' take the highway
Ima' take the highway

Every little stop sign
All the red lights like a preacher on a Saturday night
The devil's in the details
Pretty little females
Tell me all your sweet sweet lies
I can't slow down it's so damn loud
Let's burn this town alive
Oh pocket full of moonshine
Countin' all the white lies
Time to take the highway highway highway

Baby take the highway
Ima' take the highway

We have found one motivation
How to get rid of great expectations
Cold and empty on the inside
Deaf, dumb and blind we are moving right into the light

Where did it go wrong?
Why did we all sit and stare?
What was going on?
Was anybody there?

Why still bother
When we all ignore each other
Going under
Why still bother
We are all the same
Why still bother
When we all ignore each other
Going under
Why still bother
We are all the same
And every single person is to blame

Where did it go wrong?
Why did we all sit and stare?
What was going on?
Was anybody there?

Why still bother
When we all ignore each other
Going under
Why still bother
We are all the same
Why still bother
When we all ignore each other
Going under

We are all the same
And every single person is to blame

So here I am.
I'm right back at it again.
Just like I've always said,
"If you're too cool for school
I ain't here to make no friends."
And I'll say, "Hey (hey),
I'm right back at it again."
Just like I've always said,
"If you're too cool for school,
I ain't here to make no friends."

We left home with no kinda back up plan,
And everyone we knew that we couldn't stand
Said, "If you can't make it here you won't make it there."
Don't wanna hear about it.
Spent most of our time sleeping on hard wood floors.
People's living rooms, in any open door.
We played a show a night 'til it all made sense.

So here I am.
I'm right back at it again.
Just like I've always said,
"If you're too cool for school
I ain't here to make no friends."
And I'll say, "Hey (hey),
I'm right back at it again."
Just like I've always said,
"If you're too cool for school,
I ain't here to make no friends."

Don't wanna hear about it,
Don't wanna hear about it yet!

So here I am.
I'm right back at it again.
Just like I've always said,
"If you're too cool for school
I ain't here to make no friends."
And I'll say, "Hey (hey),
I'm right back at it again."
Just like I've always said,
"If you're too cool for school,
I ain't here to make no" Brace for impact!

Don't wanna hear about it!
Don't wanna hear about it!

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't shiver
I won't shake
I'm made of stone
I don't break

[Chorus]
Start me up
Open my eyes
Turn me loose and you'll see why
I was born, born ready
I was born, born ready
Staring at the pressure now
I won't quit, not backing down
I was born, born ready
I was born, born ready

[Post-Chorus]
Keep pushing up higher
Keep pushing up
Keep pushing up higher, higher
Keep pushing up

[Interlude]
Keep pushing up higher, higher
Keep pushing up

[Chorus]
Start me up
Open my eyes
Turn me loose and you'll see why
I was born, born ready
I was born, born ready
Staring at the pressure now
I won't quit, not backing down
I was born, born ready
I was born, born ready

[Post-Chorus]
Keep pushing up higher, higher
Keep pushing up
Keep pushing up higher, higher
Keep pushing up

[Outro]
Start me up
Open my eyes
Turn me loose and you'll see why
I was born, born ready
I was born, born ready

I wrote this song as a message for help
On behalf of anybody findin' they self
I wrote this letter to numb your pain
'Cause everyday I wake up, I'm feelin' the same
I got issues just like you got issues
I been hurt, I seen the scar tissue
If I showed you, would you run away?
Do I gotta hide 'em for you to wanna stay?
Do I, even need you? Should I leave you?
Do I, gotta be you, just to please you?
Do I, say I'm all good, when I bleed you
Through my, heart? Quit tearin' mine apart

I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared
I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes
But if you can't take me at my worst
You don't deserve me at my best

Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh
Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh
I got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up
'Cause life is about, aight check this out, look

Life is about makin' mistakes
It's also about tryna be great (right)
Do not let failure scare you away
I know you fed up, you fall, get up
It's all in us, I can speak about 'cause I did it (true)
Ladies and gentlemen, here's the exhibit
It's my life, look a little closer, you could see the highlight
Gold ain't always golden but I told 'em
Look at all the years I've been waitin' for a moment
Shed a lot of tears just to smile in the mornin'
Tell me could you love me? Tell me could you love me?
Tell me could you love me if I told you why?

I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared
I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes
But if you can't take me at my worst
You don't deserve me at my best

This song's for anybody, yeah
Who feels like I did, never the cool kid
This song's for anybody
Who fought their way through, always remain true
This song's for anybody
The one's who tryin' to get it, the one's who dream it and live it
This song's for anybody
This song, this song, this song, this song, this song, this song

Ohh, I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared
I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes
But if you can't take me at my worst
You don't deserve me at my best

Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh
Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh
I got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up
'Cause life is about

Wishin' I was
Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky, breeze and it don't seem fair
The only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Wrote a note, said "Be back in a minute"
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don't think anybody's gonna miss me anyway
Mind on a permanent vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishin' my condition ain't ever gonna go away

'Cause now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind through my hair
Only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

This champagne shore watchin' over me
It's a sweet sweet life livin' by the salty sea
One day you can be as lost as me
Change your geography and maybe you might be

Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind through my hair
Only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Come on in
The waters nice
Find yourself a little slice
Grab a backpack
Otherwise you'll never know until you try
When you lose yourself
You find a key to paradise
