[Intro: mgk, Nick Long & BazeXX]
That’s a horrible idea
Yeah, right?
Hahaha
That’s why, that’s why

[Chorus]
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
That’s the way it was, but it isn’t who I am, goddamn

[Verse 1]
Every night I drive in the summer
Head out of the window, I’m a skydive jumper
Two bags like the eyes they under
Chasing good times ‘til we die, motherfucker

[Pre-Chorus]
Wasted years, but kept my soul
I always knew my home was rock ‘n’ rollin’
Days are short, before I go
I want my casket laced with guns and roses

[Chorus]
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
That’s the way it was, but it isn’t who I am, goddamn

[Post-Chorus]
Goddamn
Goddamn

[Verse 2]
I swear too much, fuck, yeah, tell me something I don’t know
I care too much, so what?
Life’s short, and I spent too many hours doing nothing about it
And I spent too much money that never amounted to nothing
I been drowning in something, I’m a downer on substances
I’m a functioning junkie turning my life around

[Pre-Chorus]
Wasted years, but kept my soul
I always knew my home was rock ‘n’ rollin’
Days are short, before I go
I want my casket laced with guns and roses

[Chorus]
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
That’s the way it was, but it isn’t who I am, goddamn

[Bridge]
Never had a chance to be young, goddamn
No one grows old where I’m from, goddamn
Going through the motions all alone, goddamn
I can’t lift this weight off of my shoulders, goddamn
Feel like they forgot my city, goddamn
No one sittin’ shotgun with me, goddamn
I can feel the cracks in my bones, goddamn
I don’t think I’m ever goin’ home, goddamn

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
See somethin’ pretty, then I look too close
Do somethin’ shitty, so my darkness shows
Push you away ‘til you let me go
Sick of who I am, goddamn
Goddamn
