crooked+straight - american aquarium lyrics
[verse 1]
my daddy was a southern baptist deacon
on the good book i was born and raised
but i never quite bought into the preachin’
too much fear, too much hate
[verse 2]
so i drifted from my faith outta high school
i questioned things that i could not see
that’s when they told my dad that we weren’t welcome back
and they were gonna be prayin’ for me
[chorus 1]
he said “son, the road, it ain’t easy
“it’s all just a series of mistakes
“but you gotta learn how to take
“the bruises with the breaks
“the love with the heartache
“the crooked with the straight”
[verse 3]
i wandered through my twenties uninspired
i got my education at the end of the bar
and i traded in my youth for three chords and the truth
and the ring of an electric guitar
and we made all these plans, we were gonna take a stand
set out and rise above the noise
but after all those shows we played, their fight began to fade
and as they walked away, i heard my father’s voice
[chorus 1]
he said “son, the road, it ain’t easy
“it’s all just a series of mistakes
“but you gotta learn how to take
“the bruises with the breaks
“the love with the heartache
“the crooked with the straight”
[chorus 2]
he said “son, the road, it ain’t easy
“it’s all just a series of mistakes
“and son, you might not believe me
“but i promise, you will one of these days
“that you’re gonna learn how to take
“the bruises with the breaks
“the love with the heartache
“the crooked with the straight”
