Mama says I was
her favorite
Papa's proud of his new son
Try so hard to make them love me
Try so hard to be the one
But today I woke up hurting
In the back seat of my ride
Empty bottles all around me
Got to get out now and hide
CHORUS:
24 years of building bridges
24 hours to burn them down
What would you say if you could reach me
Before I headed out of town
Papa, I'm not
gonna tell you
What I did to make me go
Mama, go back to the kitchen
I admit, you told me so
CHORUS
Stop the phone calls
Stop the fear
Stop the paper and get
Out of here
Shut the lights off
Let me go
Start the car
Hit the road
Mama says I
was her favorite
Papa's proud of his new son
If only the two could see me
All alone and on the run
CHORUS 2:
24 years of building bridges
24 hours to burn them down
What would you say if you could reach me
Now that I've headed out of town
