Well this town's been awful quiet
Day and night I try to fight it
Try to get a little rise out of these streets
Keepin' my mouth shut just ain't for me
They say I got too big for my britches
Might've burned too many bridges
This or that, you don't know which is best to be
Speak for yourself, 'cuz that ain't for me
I'll tell you what's on my mind
So we don't have to walk that line
Might get you from point A to point B but what would the point be
If you can't see
I'll tell you what I'm thinking
'Cuz I've been thinking that it's been a one way street
Oh, it ain't for me to tell you
It ain't for me to tell you what you need
I've seen some folks get to Heaven
And I know some that might not get in
You say you don't care where you're headed when you leave
Speak for yourself, 'cuz that ain't for me
I'll tell you what's on my mind
So we don't have to walk that line
Might get you from point A to point B but what would the point be
If you can't see
I'll tell you what I'm thinking
'Cuz I've been thinking that it's been a one way street
Oh, it ain't for me to tell you
It ain't for me to tell you what you need
It ain't polite to speak if you ain't spoken to
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
When there ain't nobody left to speak for you
Ain't so funny when the joke's on you
I'll tell you what's on my mind
So we don't have to walk that line
Might get you from point A to point B but what would the point be
If you can't see
I'll tell you what I'm thinking
'Cuz I've been thinking that it's been a one way street
Oh it ain't for me to tell you
It ain't for me to tell you
No it ain't for me to tell you
It ain't for me to tell you
You ain't for me
