lyrics

And it pumps it pumps it pumps
My still devoted heart
And I beat it hard
But it keeps me alive
And we play down to the wire
I guess I needed a little jump
I guess I needed a little faith in myself

Your old man gave you the very best advice
A little word to the already wise
There ain’t nothing to lose and ain’t nothing to gain
When we’re lying in our graves
Hoping it was worth it
Baby was it worth it

Bygones become bygone
It’s just a matter a matter of time
We sort the truth from the lies
And maybe we’ll survive
So we all keep moving along
To the beat of our favourite song
I hope it’s peaceful and slow
Like all the best songs I know

Chorus

Wild as fire
Eyes like sapphire
Lights carry me back home

They say the bigger they come
The harder it is to make them see sense
You’ve got to make your amends
Before you draw your last breath

Your old man gave you the very best advice
A little word to the already wise
It’s been this way since 2009
Fire whiskey and ice
There ain’t nothing to lose and ain’t nothing to gain
When we’re lying in our graves
Hoping it was worth it
Baby was it worth it
