lyrics

Not A Song About Me

Welcome back, take your shoes off, make yourself at home
Pick my brain for the night, I’m all alone
You’re not turn to that radio tonight
What makes you think that it’s all right, is that tune?

After 16 years of cries and desperation
Shana came to me
Choked on my words I had no explanation
That song wasn’t me

I can be mean
I can be shallow
I can say all the wrong things all the time
I’m a kick when you’re down
The floor to your fall
I guess no one really knows me after all

Welcome home, take a load off, and pour yourself a drink
We’ll meet here twice a week to kick and scream
Our lungs out to that radio tonight
What makes you think that it’s all right, is it that tune?

After 8 long weeks of rehabilitation
Billy came to me
He spoke my words in misinterpretation
That song wasn’t me
