I was born in Tennessee 
Late July humidity 
Doctor said I was lucky to be alive 
I've been trouble since the day that I got here 

Trouble till the day that I disappear 
That'll be the day that I finally get it right 
There is hope for me yet 
Because God won't forget 

All the plans he's made for me 
I have to wait and see He's not finished with me yet 
I never really was that good in school 
I talked too much, broke [bad word] 

Teacher thought I was hopeless fool alright 
I don't know how but I made it through 
It's one of those things that you've gotta do 
But I always had a knack for telling the [bad word] 

 [bad word] 
Still wondering why I'm here 
Still wrestling with my fear 
But oh, He's up to something 
And the farther on I go 

I've seen enough to know 
That I'm, not here for nothing 
He's up to something 
So now's my time to be a man 

Follow my heart as far as I can 
No telling where I'm ending up tonight 
I never slow down or so it seems 
But singing my heart it's one of my dreams 
All I gotta do is hold on tight 

 [bad word]
