She's got dark sunglasses, and some backstage passes,
A pocket full of green that I'll help turn to ashes,
and I got this guitar and a microphone, I think that if I'm lucky I'll be takin' her home,
So I stroll up to the bar, can I buy you a drink?
I just finished my set so let me know what you think.
My pretty little girl don't you say a word.
I can tell what you're thinkin' by your eyes rest assured.
I know you like my style cause it feels so complete.
If you feel so inclined you can move to the beat.
Can the music take me far away, to a place where we don't have to stay,
so close to the fire just to burn brighter, I think we can find light on our own,
It's been a while, and I'm kinda tired so let's just go home
I don't got it all figured out, I'm just learnin what it's all about
So recap to captivate, before the nights to late,
if I play my cards right I'll be lookin' at a second date,
cause this girl I'm lookin' at has caught my eyes.
Because her eyes are lookin' like some stars right out the skies.
All the other people in the room disappear,
every time I see her and she's standin' near,
but this could never be, it's nothin' but a pipe dream,
so I'll hit this mic just to make my mind clean,
sure the sex is bomb but I can't change the fights.
And I feel like shit but out of darkness comes light.
Pour me up another drink, just to get my mind right,
I'm about to let it go and leave it all here on the mic.
You had a rough day, nobody gives a fuck kid,
gotta roll with the punches and take it like your dad did.
Five times a pussy, eventually you'll be a hardass,
but for now your just a little kid that's still tryin to grasp,
the message behind the words i'm standin here slayin.
I'm not makin shit from the charges you've been payin!
