 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Head up, hands tied, made magic

Hand cuffs disappeared, tan lines where the bands cut

It'll heal, sit on hills I had to climb

Damn if I, ever fall off I'm a different build

Dandelion in a field of land mines

Fit with shields thick as steel

Quick to kill bad vibes had enough

Cups filled added lime to rough deals

Agave, some mint leaves a mock-tail

Oxtail tail, add the but, just when I thought that I would get to chill

And what, hard days interfere

Black luck, fit the heel

My shoes, jog pace, long race

In a wheel pause take in the fact that I get to feel

Small things bigger deals

Entered my golden phase

While we're afraid to age even harder to hold the page

I learned to grow with grace, gotta let go to gain

Now I know they way is not to think that I'm owed a thing 

Sitting in my car, in the driveway

I've been home a while but my minds late

It's the only time that I day dream

Getting really hard to find a quite space

Open up the door and world screams

Getting overwhelmed by the high pace

Something's on my mind I deserve peace

Until the door swings, race

So what's next, I don't know, I just know I won't rest

Unless, success comes first I won't get

Home yet, an idea an address, IP

I dream of things I don't own yet

Likely, I never will, might be is enough to entice me to get it still

Bet I get rich or in loan debt

Both yes, credit skills better build

Pricey when everything's placed on pedestal

At a height far too late to let ever spill

Tipping point, missed the point if you believe  I ever chill

Wish I could, don't know how tried couple times but I find

If I slow it down, it feels like a read a will

Dramatic's understatement, I go off on nothing major

Imagine when it is, If all emotions my one is anger

I favor the toughest wagers, Alive when I'm brushing danger

Fear in place of drive no surprise I ain't stuck yet

Sitting in my car, in the driveway

I've been home a while, but my minds late

It's the only time that I day dream

Getting really hard to find a quite space

Open up the door and world screams

Getting overwhelmed by the high pace

Something's on my mind I deserve peace

Until the door swings, race
