24k Gold

When I was young
Daddy said
"Boy, show them your place
Oh, We throw rocks, we kick sand
And we spit in their face"
So I took those words to heart
Like a punch in the chest
Oh I, looked him in the eyes and said
"Sir, I'll do my best"

Now I'm, older, much bolder
I stopped leaning on his shoulder
I'm Taking more than giving
I finally started living
I'm looking in the mirror
And I still see his face
The past is a reflection
You might as well embrace

I won't ever let you down

Driving down the road
With your rims 24 karat gold
That's how it goes
when your life's so a la mode
What can I do what can I say
This all was just handed to me
And a, woah oh
Woah oh

Keep it simple
Keep it easy for me, babe
I run around, and I'm never coming down
Who you foolin'
I'm the best you've found
And now I'm losin'
The will to work it out

Don't you ever bring me down

Driving down the road
With the tints blacking out the 'rolls
That's how it goes
When your life's so a la mode
What can I do, what can I say
This all was just handed to me
And a, woah oh
Woah oh

Now stop, maybe I've been too harsh
Stop, I've got my hand on my heart
Stop, I want someone to love me
Like my daddy never did for me
So won't you give me a chance

Driving down the road
With your rims 24 karat gold
That's how it goes
When your life's so a la mode
What can I do, what can I say
This all has just happened to me
And a, woah oh
Woah oh

Woah oh, woah oh
Woah oh
