Lyrics
I grew up tall and grew up right On the southside of town I hugged my momma late at night while the old man ran around I swore that I'd find a way to bring him one notch down Everytime that he came home I never made a sound Left my home at seventeen hoping it would burn Met a girl down in Tennessee who made my heart turn Everything that was dark in me Left never to return For the first time I put a finger on the things that I had learned Our lives are like water Running through our hands You can't hold on forever Drink it while you can There's so many things About this world I don't understand I've been a fool for so long I had a preacher call to me at the Southside Church of Christ Said Jesus saves if you believe but you better not think twice After all the things I've seen and done I knew that he was right I made my way to the baptistry before I left that night Our lives are like water Running through our hands You can't hold on forever Drink it while you can There's so many things about this world I don't understand I've been a fool for so long
