  • I been a fool, but that's okay
    Had to grow up one of these days
    Took awhile to get myself straight
    I'm sure I'll be bent one of these days

    I ain't done, you know I've tried
    Son of a gun, I thought it'd be a smoother ride

    Been a long time I been walking this road
    My shoes are worn down and so is my soul
    But something is driving me up that hill
    Something spiritual, like a force of will

    I know you're tired, I know we're fried
    Son of a gun, I thought it'd be a smoother ride

    Something is driving me up that hill
    Something spiritual, like a force of will
    Something is pushing, it's pushing hard
    Always been here right in my backyard

    We need some fun, our hands untied
    Son of a gun, I thought It'd be a smoother ride
    Son of a gun, I thought it'd be a smoother ride Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
