Turn down another shot of whiskey
Close out and stop at just three
I never could
Pump the brakes on the old gray Chevy
Find a place less temporary
I never could
Never could change just for myself
Tame my reckless raising hell
Curb the urge that kept me burning up the backwoods
Never could see me letting you close
Baby my heart was Jericho
Till you broke the walls down
Moved in and found the good
That I never could
Together we can win the battles
Shine the light, beat back the shadows
I never could
With your holy hands holding mine
I'm letting go of this lonely life for good
Never could change just for myself
Tame my reckless raising hell
Curb the urge that kept me burning up the backwoods
Never could see me letting you close
Baby my heart was Jericho
Till you broke the walls down
Moved in and found the good
That I never could
