My momma asked me when I was young To prove that men could be good And I told her I would do Everything that I could To show the boy she'd made Wasn't unwelcome And she married a doctor a man To satisfy grandma's plans Who never would Let me in the family albums And he showed me how to be A good man for all to see But I had no business being me For I was unwelcome We all play out these stories We all walk the lines Even though we didn't write them They're tattooed behind our eyes I was so afraid of what I could do that I I just played dumb And I met girls I even married one Who didn't know just What she wanted And I told her baby I don't know How to want or who I am So you're welcome to use me All you can Oh sweet sacrifice The blade it drops I feel That liquor going down So smooth We all play out our stories We all walk the lines Even though we didn't write them They're tattooed behind our eyes I was so afraid Of what I could do that I I just played dumb Now I got a girl of my own When she's afraid she loves me more Cause she knows You might be safe but you'll be alone If you're unwelcome And we've got ourselves a family of four The kids they build a fort on the floor And we can all rest assured That we're welcome We all play out our stories We all walk the lines Even though we didn't write them they're Tattooed behind our eyes I'm no longer afraid of what I could do But when I play chess with those kids I still play dumb Woo That's right
