I will stay standing on my feet
I will take whatever I please
I will not take Exit 167
Due to all of the bad memories
Swallow your anger, spit out your wine
Just know nobody else is doing fine
You've got your split-lipped Houston smile
And the future's bright
Let the broken strings unwind
I'm silver and sulfur when they combine
You can't complain about your old home changing when you're the one who left it
So just hold your breath this time
You've lost your ability to whine
It's what you needed all this time
Start getting mad about the right things, give yourself a break
You'll be just fine
So let the hammer fire away
No silver bullets, no saving face
So look up, count back from a hundred
And take it like a levy taking on a hurricane
I've got paper cups, so let's pour the wine
If we're all breathing, we're doing fine
All jacks, no aces, a familiar song
And the future's bright
