Cody Jinks - Change The Game Lyrics






Sober Thing

Well, it's me
In case you were wonderin'
Same old mess as I
Have always been
I've been fightin'
Regrets and memories
Time has not healed me
Like I thought it would

And I don't know which ones are worse
The nightmares or the hangovers
The sleepless nights or the passin' out and finally gettin' rest
The slowin' down just reminds me of why
I started in the first place
The numbing just fueled me for the runnin' away from the pain
And I'm closer to the messed up than the sober thing

I've been workin'
What I mean by workin'
Been tryin' to find myself
And who I am
I'm still fightin'
Regrets and memories
Time don't give up on me
Like I fear it will

And I don't know which ones are worse
The nightmares or the hangovers
The sleepless nights or the passin' out and finally gettin' rest
The slowin' down just reminds me of why
I started in the first place
The numbing just fueled me for the runnin' away from the pain
And I'm closer to the messed up than the sober thing

And I don't know which ones are worse
The nightmares or the hangovers
The sleepless nights or the passin' out and finally gettin' rest
The slowin' down just reminds me of why
I started in the first place
The numbing just fueled me for the runnin' away from the pain
And I'm closer to the messed up than the sober thing

Well, it's me
In case you were wonderin'
Same old mess as I
Have always been

Outlaws and Mustangs

Well, the world tears down all those who go astray
We pay a price for going our own way
Oh, and wisdom's often born of our scars
And we find ourselves losing who we are

Go on, hit the highway, disappear in the night
You gotta see the world all by yourself, and that's alright
You ain't leaving me worried, you were born to roam
The thing about outlaws and mustangs, they always come home
They always come home

You outlaws and mustangs, restless and on the run
Oh, come all you misfit daughters and you prodigal sons
You don't have to apologize
For your free, exploring mind

Go on, hit the highway, disappear in the night
You gotta see the world all by yourself, and that's alright
You ain't leaving me worried, you were born to roam
The thing about outlaws and mustangs, they always come home
They always come home

Go on, hit the highway, disappear in the night
You gotta see the world all by yourself, and that's alright
You ain't leaving me worried, you were born to roam
The thing about outlaws and mustangs, they always come home
They always come home, hey

Oh, they always come home
Oh, they always come home
Oh, they always come home
Oh, they always come home
Oh, they always come home

I Can't Complain

You can tell 'em all that I'm crazy
You can tell 'em I've never changed
You can tell 'em anything that you want 'em to hear
It's okay, I've heard the same

Don't think that I don't love you
Don't think that I don't try
Don't you ever think you don't add more weight
Every time you asked me why

The shackles can't get no tighter
The chain ain't got no give
The ball don't get no smaller
Yeah, that's just the way it is

You can tell 'em all that I'm crazy
You can tell 'em I've never changed
You can tell 'em anything that you want 'em to hear
It's okay, I've heard the same
I've heard the same

Right there on your table
I see your plate is full
Sitting next to a glass half-empty
And a never-ending pool

Yeah, the reasons I keep leaving
Are the reasons I can't stay
Don't think I don't want to
And no, I've never walked away

You can tell 'em all that I'm crazy
You can tell 'em I've never changed
You can tell 'em anything that you want 'em to hear
It's okay, I've heard the same
And while you're out there seeking shelter
And you find yourself in chains
I've always had my own to bear
But you know I can't complain
I can't complain

I wish I could have said it all
Before you heard it rhyme
It's the same old song you've heard me sing
At least a million times

You can tell 'em all that I'm crazy
You can tell 'em I've never changed
You can tell 'em anything that you want 'em to hear
It's okay, I've heard the same
And while you're out there seeking shelter
And you find yourself in chains
I've always had my own to bear
But you know I can't complain
I can't complain

I can't complain
And no, I can't complain

Take This Bottle

I can wait to love in Heaven
I can wait for you
Far away, I'll treat you better
Better than down here

'Cause I've done wrong
And I'm a little afraid
I ain't too strong
This ain't easy to say

Take this bottle
Take this bottle
And just walk away, the both of you
And let me feel the pain I've done to you

I can hope we'll be together
With a better roof over our heads
I can hope the stormy weather
It passes on, it passes on

But I've hoped too long
Hoped for you to change
And that hope is gone
So listen what I say

Take this bottle
Take this bottle
And just walk away, the both of you
And let me feel the pain I've done to you

'Cause I've done wrong
And I'm a little afraid
And I've hoped too long
I hoped for you to change

Take this bottle
Take this bottle
And just walk away, the both of you
And let me feel the pain I've done to you

I can wait to love in Heaven
I can wait for you
And I can wait to love in Heaven
I can wait for you

Deceivers Blues

You might lose every dollar you make
Cradle will fall and the bank will break
You might laugh until you wear that mistake
Swore it never happened to you
Taking from Peter, give it to Paul
It's feeding your family or against the law
It all depends on which side you fall
On these deceiver's blues

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth
The law of a lie
It's up to you
You decide
Win or lose
Do or die

Sometimes I wonder how the good Lord decides
Who gets the luck, who gets the struggle and strife
Good and evil, the wrong and the right
I've learned from both the two
I never win any game but mine
I learned the hard way when to call it a night
If you care to learn, son, I'll teach you right
Oh, these deceiver's blues

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth
The law of a lie
It's up to you
You decide
Win or lose
Do or die

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth
The law of a lie
It's up to you
You decide
Win or lose
Do or die

You might lose every dollar you make
Cradle will fall and the bank will break
You might laugh until you wear that mistake
Oh, these deceiver's blues

Oh, these deceiver's blues
Oh, these deceiver's blues

A Few More Ghosts

The sun goes down
If you hang around
Feel the cold wind blow
I never sleep
But hide in these sheets
Try to keep my eyes closed
Fire don't freeze
Nightmares ain't dreams
Memories turn to rust
I feel the breeze and the fire that it feeds
It's never cold enough

3:00 A.M., I wake up screaming
Pleading for something I never believed in
There ain't no room in here for no more demons
And the bad ones always haunt me the most
Oh, I could use a few more ghosts

It's all in my head
Just shy of dead
It's hard to see a way out
Wish I could learn, but I can't discern
What is burning me now

3:00 A.M., I wake up screaming
Pleading for something I never believed in
There ain't no room in here for no more demons
And the bad ones always haunt me the most
Oh, I could use a few more ghosts

3:00 A.M., I wake up screaming
Pleading for something I never believed in
There ain't no room in here for no more demons
And the bad ones always haunt me the most
Oh, I could use a few more ghosts

I could use a few more ghosts
I could use a few more
Ghosts

Change the Game

I've been up and down these highways
Put up wet and rode too hard
Worked to death to earn respect
And I've earned every single scar
I always thought that this was crazy
Didn't know it'd go this far but here I am (woo)

These wheels, they keep on turning
Headed right into the stars
I know it's all been worth it
Man, I sure miss playing bars
All I ever really wanted
Was to sing and play guitar with my friends

Some said I'd never make it
That I didn't do things right
So I showed them who I was
And then I made it just to spite

I changed the game, stood in the rain
I may be borderline insane
Been messed around, I've been put down
But I keep coming back again
I wear that hat, yeah
I'm the punk that says I did it my own way
And at the end of the day I can say
I changed the game

So I keep moving
Looking forward to what I have yet to find
I keep searching for a song
And I keep humming on a rhyme
I keep praying for the young bloods
Next in line to take my place
The next one to stand up and say

Some said I'd never make it
That I didn't do things right
So I showed them who I was
And then I made it just to spite

I changed the game, stood in the rain
I may be borderline insane
Been messed around, I've been put down
But I keep coming back again
I wear that hat, yeah
I'm the punk that says I did it my own way
At the end of the day I can say
At the end of the day I can say
I changed the game

Some said I'd never make it
That I didn't do things right
So I showed them who I was
And then I made it just to spite

I changed the game, stood in the rain
I may be borderline insane
Been messed around, I've been put down
But I keep coming back again
I wear that hat, yeah
I'm the punk that says I did it my own way
At the end of the day I can say
At the end of the day I can say
At the end of the day I can say

Go change the game
I changed the game

I Would

If you take me and say, "I'll make you mine"
If you'd give me your time
Right or wrong, I'm buying
I would
When you walk by, you know you catch my eye
My face, a thin disguise
That shows the reasons why
I would
Yeah

If you asked me if I could stay the night
Until the morning light
If that's what's on your mind
I would
If you asked me if I'd give you my life
Until the end of time
If that's what's on your mind

I would, I would
Walk through fire to shield you from the flame
I would, I would
Be the hand you reach for in the rain
Through the trials, through the triumph
Through the bad, and through the good
If I could, I would

I would, I would
Walk through fire to shield you from the flame
I would, I would
Be the hand you reach for in the rain
Through the trials, through the triumph
Through the bad, and through the good
If I could, I would

If I could, I would

The Working Man

You can put me on a rig
You can put me on a freight dock
Put a hammer in my hand
I'll give it all I've got
It's just what I do
It ain't hard to understand
You can change the tools
But you can't change the working man

You can sew an old patch on
With a company and a name
It may read a little different
Inside, I'm still the same
It's just what I do
It ain't hard to understand
You can change the tools
But you can't change the working man

Whatever it takes, it just does
Living on a dream in a cloud of dust
Riding out is just what I do
Wish I could stay to tell the truth
It may seem cold, but when I get old
You'll know I made a stand
You can change the tools
But you can't change the working man

Whatever it takes, it just does
Living on a dream in a cloud of dust
Riding out is just what I do
I wish I could stay to tell the truth
It may seem cold, but when I get old
You'll know I made a stand
You can change the tools
But you can't change the working man
Oh, you can change the tools
But you can't change the working man

You can put me on a rig
You can put me on a freight dock
Put a hammer in my hand
I'll give it all I've got

Wasted

I woke up in the same clothes I was in last night
I've done it again
Pounding head and bloodshot eyes about to light
That morning cigarette
Seen the bottom of a whiskey bottle
More times than I can count
Woke up cold, the sunrise burning up my eyes
On some old stranger's couch
Wasted

Wasted youth, wasted time
There ain't no truth in a wasted mind
Ain't no way to go through life
Night after night
Wasted

Well, I can't get back the time I've had
Can't make amends
Rewrite the past
I've change my ways 'fore it's too late
So one day I don't see my savior's face
Wasted

Wasted youth, wasted time
Ain't no truth in a wasted mind
Ain't no way to go through life
Night after night
Wasted

I woke up in the same clothes I was in last night
I've done it
Again

Always Running

I haven't read your letters for a while
So I woke up and read through some this morning
I haven't called, that's just my style
The need for you, it hits without warning

I know it's me to blame
You reach out, and I just pulled away
You know that I won't stay
You just let me go
I run back to you to find my way

Always running back to you
When I leave, I'm on my feet
Coming back, I'm crawling on my knees
Always running back to you
I can't stay gone for too long
I think I can, but I'm not that strong

A couple turns I took were wrong
Running hard to get back home, but it's so stormy
All I have for you is this song
I'll make it right with you Sunday morning

Dry soul, in need of rain
You take me and lead me through the pain
And you know that I won't stay
You just let me go on, knowing I'll be back to find my way

Always running back to you
When I leave, I'm on my feet
Coming back, I'm crawling on my knees
Always running back to you
I can't stay gone for too long
I think I can, but I'm not that strong

If I can make it from here to there
All I've got's this prayer
All I've got's this prayer

Always running back to you
When I leave, I'm on my feet
Coming back, I'm crawling on my knees
Always running back to you
I can't stay gone for too long
I think I can

Always running back to you
When I leave, I'm on my feet
Coming back, I'm crawling on my knees
Always running back to you
I can't stay gone for too long
I think I can, but I'm not that strong

Always running back to you
I'm always running
I'm always running
Always running back to you

What You Love

Life is tough, and love's a fight
Don't mean you're doing it wrong
It means you're doing it right
So feel it all and take it in
It's okay to lose, but you play to win

You may want to take the easy way
But do your best not to be swayed

Don't settle for the simple ride
There's sun over the mountainside
Far beyond the great divide lies endless skies, blue and wide
Don't be afraid to sacrifice for something worthy of your life
Don't waste your days on dreams that don't fill you
Find out what you love and let it kill you

Friends pass on and move away
Lovers leave and hearts will break
Falling down ain't just for kids
A life played safe
Is a life not lived

You may want to take the easy way
But do your best not to be swayed

Don't settle for the simple ride
There's sun over the mountainside
Far beyond the great divide lies endless skies, blue and wide
Don't be afraid to sacrifice for something worthy of your life
Don't waste your days on dreams that don't fill you
Find out what you love and let it kill you

You'll learn more from failures and mistakes
Life's about the choices that we make

Don't settle for the simple ride
There's sun over the mountainside
Far beyond the great divide lies endless skies, blue and wide
Don't be afraid to sacrifice for something worthy of your life
Don't waste your days on dreams that don't fill you
Go find out what you love and let it kill you
Find out what you love and let it kill you
Find out what you love
