Untitled
Skynard told me, when I was young
To live my life but to live a simple one
Lord knows I've tried but I took a different road
Life can be a mess or beauty can take your breath
But I've had to carry a heavy load
Simple livin just ain't that simple
Easy livings just not for me
I've had to fight, run, steal and swindle
My dogs barking up a different tree
They say not to judge a book by it's cover
But with me you will discover
What you see is what you get
So run away with me lover
We got a lot of ground to cover
We can be on the horizon before you even ash that cigarette
I live in shades of grey not always black and white
Even stars reflect day in the dead of the night
Im the type of man that's gotta know what's behind every closed door
I don't have a plan I just always find myself searching for more
Hit the road with me babe and let's go and find out
Leave this small town and learn what life is all about
They say not to judge a book by it's cover
But with me you will discover
What you see is what you get
So run away with me lover
We got a lot of ground to cover
We can be on the horizon before you even ash that cigarette
Take my hand babe and follow my lead
On the open road slow just ain't my speed
We'll slash ourselves a brand new path
Just keep on driving til we're out of gas
Well go see **** ain't nobody seen
We'll hold back smiles so we can try to look mean
Then we'll laugh at ourselves in some shitty motels
Surviving on nothing but smokes and caffeine
They say not to judge a book by it's cover
But with me you will discover
What you see is what you get
