Thick Skin - Acoustic

Thanks to nights that dad went driving while mom slept off her pills
And the demons in my sister, made her say goodbye for real
All those months I slept inside my car somewhere in West LA
When my first love called to tell me I'm the whore that got away

Well, guess what, babe? It barely cut the grain

'Cause I got this thick skin, years in the making
Dare you to try me, babe, I can take it
Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking
I dare you try

Locked inside a rollercoaster, been imprisoned by my fears
By some dude who hasn't had a single hit in 30 years
Barely climbed out of a nightmare, I'm not ready for the grave
A lesser man would be so bitter, but it only made me brave

Well now it's worth the price you had me pay

'Cause I got this thick skin, years in the making
Dare you to try me, babe, I can take it
Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking
Dare you try

Hm-oh, oh, I got this thick skin
Hm-oh, oh, it's on my sleeve
Hm-oh, oh, I got this thick skin
Hm (it's just for me)

I got this thick skin, years in the making
Dare you to try me, babe, I can take it
Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking
I dare you try

Hm-oh, I got this thick skin
Hm-oh, it's on my sleeve
Hm-oh, I got this thick skin
Hm-oh, oh (it's just for me), no, oh
