    (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

    Don't keep my boots by the door no more
    There's nowhere I need to be that fast
    People keep asking what I settled down for
    I finally found something I wanna make last

    My stubborn pride
    Laying on the floor
    Burn every bridge
    I've built before
    You pulled me from the fire
    So I won't face the flames alone
    And gave this gypsy heart
    The only home it's ever known

    (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
    (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

    Never planned on making it quite this far
    It's a hard road sleeping on white lines
    Paint a neon smile just to cover all my scars
    I was always twelve steps behind

    My stubborn pride
    Laying on the floor
    Burn every bridge
    I've built before
    You pulled me from the fire
    So I won't face the flames alone
    And gave this gypsy heart
    The only home it's ever known

    You're a most unlikely angel
    That saved me from myself
    Heaven knows I need you, baby
    Can't get high on nothing else

    My stubborn pride
    Laying on the floor
    Burn every bridge
    I've built before
    You pulled me from the fire
    So I won't face the flames alone
    And gave this gypsy heart
    The only home it's ever known
    And gave this gypsy heart
    The only home it's ever known

  • John Sparkman And Blacktop Herd from Nashvegas Baby!I believe Zac gave Marcus writing credits for what he does in what I call the 3rd verse, and just like Zac says, it’s like a conversation. In the Lead Guitar Verse, Marcus starts out like a conversation, and leads up to an elelectric guitar diatribe that has ups and downs of a verbalized conversation that is rather vocalized by Marcus Kings lead skills, and to extend the metaphor further, it soeaks to me. Bravo, it’s both amazing and my favorite song.
