400,000 miles
on an engine that's barely running.
I got no heat and the winters are coming.
Outside I'm scraping windows.
Was born to escape these old roads.
Thawing out my fingers for the sixth string.
18 and my heart starts beating.
Writing down the rules of this crazy game.
Finding out that everybody's cheating.
But I'm driving tooth and nail, yeah.
Yeah, I'm driving straight through hell.
If I break down, I know nobody's coming to help.
And it's for my mother.
And it's for my father.
I'm gonna get back all the love they've been giving to me.
It's not for my heroes.
Never for my ego.
I'm not running your race.
You can spit in my face when you say.
You're a boy and nobody
knows you.
So turn back around and go home.
You'll never hit the top.
So go kick rocks.
And I said,
I'm doing a little bit better.
You lose if you quip it, I'll never.
No, I'll never kick rocks.
Never gonna kick rocks.
Staring at the sun, my eyes bleeding.
Made it to the letter, big dreaming.
Can't see my breath, I don't believe it.
Another number and my phone's not ringing.
And there goes my chance to see.
I'm always the one that you'd be calling if you're calling to help.
Do I do it?
Cause I need that healing.
Do I do it?
Cause I need that feeling.
Everybody said they knew I'd make it.
Now, got my family on my shoulders.
Hold my brothers always closer.
I'm out here swinging for the people.
Other people be lost.
And it's for my mother.
And it's for my father.
I'm gonna get back all the love they've been giving to me.
It's not for my heroes.
Never for my ego.
I'm not running your race.
You can spit in my face when you say.
You're a boy and nobody knows you.
So turn back around and go home.
Cause you'll never hit the top.
So go kick rocks.
And I said,
I'm doing a little bit better.
You'll never kick rocks.
Never gonna kick rocks.
