Text Book

[Verse 1]    I guess you could call it text book I was looking for the father I wanted back    And I thought I found it in Brentwood It seemed only appropriate you’d easily had my back    And then there was the issue of her I didn’t even like myself or love the life I had And there you were with shinin’ stars Standin’ clear with open arms You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had [Chorus]    You’ve got a Thunderbird my daddy had one too    Let’s rewrite his story I’ll do this dance with you    You know I’m not that girl    You know I’ll never be    Maybe just the way we’re different could set me free    And there we were screamin’ "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd by the Old Man River And I saw you saw who I am    God I wish I was with my father he could see us in all our splendor All the things I couldn’t want for him I screamed for them oh oh oh And screamed for them ah [Verse 2]    Could we do this dance again? Do you think if I go blonde we could get our old love back?    I guess this is really the end I never felt jealous before this year but I’m jealous now    People say we’re too much alive But maybe if I lay dead that would make right in the end Of all these sleepless nights Other men I met felt right Would smile at you and stick a knife In your back Finally I met you so I’m not wonderin’ why [Chorus]    You’ve got a Thunderbird my daddy had one too    Let’s rewrite his story I’ll do this dance with you    You know I’m not that girl    You know I’ll never be    Maybe just the way we’re different could set me free    And there we were screamin’ "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd by the Old Man River And I saw you saw who I am    God I wish I was with my father he could see us in all our splendor All the things I couldn’t want for him I screamed for them oh oh oh And screamed for them ah [Outro] Old Man River keeps rollin’   With or without him    Old Man River keeps rollin’   Without him oh my old man Old Man River keeps rollin’ oh
