La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful girl To save you from your old ways You pray for forgiveness 'Cause watch out, here she comes Don't look a thing like Jesus But I talk like a gentle soul Like you imagined When you were young Can we climb this mountain? I don't know Higher now than ever before And I know we can make it if we take it slow Let's take it easy and watch it grow We're burning down the highway skyline On the back of a hurricane That started turning When you were young Started turning When you were young And sometimes you close your eyes And see the place that you used to live When you were young Back when you were young They say the devil's water It ain't so sweet Don't have to drink it right now But you can go ahead and dip your feet Every once in a while, hey Every once in a while Woo You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful girl to Save you from your old bad ways Pray for forgiveness, boy Watch out, here I come And I don't look a thing like she does But I talk like a gentle soul More than you ever know I never look a thing like she does But I talk like a gentle soul More than you'll ever know You were young Like when you were young now Said I'll never look a thing like she does But I talk like a gentle soul More than you'll ever know
