Well you can dig me up a grave And try and stick me in the ground Well you can tie me to the bed And try and beat me half to death But you can never keep me down Well you can stick me in a hole And you can pray all day for rain You can shoot me in the leg Just to try to make me beg And you can leave me there for days
[CHORUS] And I'll stay alive Just to follow you home And I will survive 'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess You're my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity Leave me here to die alone but I'll still follow you home I'll still follow you home
You can make a couple calls And tell your brothers I'm in town Put a bounty on my head And tell my parents that I'm dead And hope to hell I'm never found You can steal me the keys To your daddy's Cadillac You can tamper with the brakes Call it a mistake And pray I'm never coming back
[CHORUS]
You can dig me up a grave And try and stick me in the ground You can tie me to the bed And try and beat me half to death But you can never keep me down
And I will survive 'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess You're my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity Leave me here to die alone but I'll still follow you home I'll still follow you home
Fight For All The Wrong Reasons
Well I wanted you I wanted no one else I thought it through I got you to myself You got off Every time you got on to me I got caught up In favorable slavery
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
I guess it wasn’t really right I guess it wasn’t meant to be It didn’t matter what they said ‘Cause we were good in bed I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight for all the wrong reasons No, it didn’t matter what I tried It’s just a little hard to leave When you’re going down on me I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight for all the wrong reasons
Well you know my friends Well they know your enemies I’d pretend Not to hear what they said to me ‘Cause I got off Every time you got on to me Was it wrong To go along with insanity?
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
I guess it wasn’t really right I guess it wasn’t meant to be It didn’t matter what they said ‘Cause we were good in bed I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight for all the wrong reasons No, it didn’t matter what I tried It’s just a little hard to leave When you’re going down on me I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight for all the wrong reasons
Photograph
Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh How did our eyes get so red? And what the hell is on Joey’s head?
This is where I grew up I think the present owner fixed it up I never knew we ever went without The second floor is hard for sneakin’ out
This is where I went to school Most of the time had better things to do Criminal record says I broke in twice I must’ve done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it’s too late Should I go back and try to graduate Life’s better now than it was back then If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in
Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It’s hard to say It’s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say It’s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye
Remember the old arcade Blew every dollar that we ever made The cops hated us hangin’ out They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio And sing along with every song we’d know We said someday we’d find out how it feels To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim’s the first girl I kissed I was so nervous that I nearly missed She’s had a couple of kids since then I haven’t seen her since God knows when
I miss that town I miss their faces You can’t erase You can’t replace it I miss it now I can’t believe it So hard to stay Too hard to leave it If I could relive those days I know the one thing that would never change
Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh Every time I do it makes me
