Chorus 1

All the headlights, all the midnights

Chasing all that empty,

still ain't got it right

All the crazy, all the gypsy

Well I guess all I'm sayin' is forgive me

If I don't know what I'm doing

I'm still learnin' to be human

Verse 2

So far I've been good at burning bridges

Strike a match and ride right out of town

Bless your heart for never trying to fix me

Or quit me, or slow me down
