I'm just flesh and bone, heart and soul And I've earned a couple scars I've let once in a lifetime kind of things slide right out of my arms I've struck out, I've been knocked down more times than I can count But that don't matter now 'Cause when you smile I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California And there's no doubt Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you I'm not saying that I'm perfect Oh 'cause girl you know I'm not But I'll love you with everything I've got Girl I'll give you my best shot You saw a spark inside of me that no one else could find Your good morning eyes, they get me high Girl you're always on my mind 'Cause when you smile I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California And there's no doubt Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you I'm not saying that I'm perfect Oh 'cause girl you know I'm not But I'll love you with everything I've got Girl I'll give you my best shot When I saw you for the first time I knew I'd found amazing grace It's like angels singing every time I hear your name When you smile I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California And there's no doubt Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you When you smile I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California And there's no doubt Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you I'm not saying that I'm perfect Oh, God knows I'm not But I'll love you with everything I've got Girl I'll give you my best shot I'm gonna give you, give you my best shot I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you, yeah Oh oh oh, oh oh oh yeah Oh oh oh yeah
