Testify
Heading down a highway I'm a living cliché
You'd think I'd know better now my hair's gone grey
Shirking sad dancers in need of a twirl
I'm not looking for a wife just a sound out girl
The one before the last stole my mind
I'm gonna get it back while I still got time
To that I will testify
Hear me testify
She set my heart beating way too fast
On my knees pleading how long can I last
Dressing like a young man in a punk rock shirt
While the years pile upon me like graveyard dirt
My Daddy didn't raise his pride and joy
To be nobody's whipping boy
To that I will testify
Hear me testify
I'm gonna testify
If you wait too long life will pass you by
What will you do when love spits in your eye
What will it take for you to understand
There is no truth in a one night stand
It's all right to have some fun with anyone willing
It's all right to live in sin as long as you let love in
Hate to find myself in a hotel room
Perfume on the pillow good girl gone
Painting on the wall reminds me of home
Memories of life there keep me going
When I saw my folks die I learned life is short
So I live every day for what it's worth
To that I will testify
Hear me testify
I'm gonna testify
You got one life try to live it right
Don't you hurt no-one it'll be all right
As long as you testify
You'd think I'd know better now my hair's gone grey
Shirking sad dancers in need of a twirl
I'm not looking for a wife just a sound out girl
The one before the last stole my mind
I'm gonna get it back while I still got time
To that I will testify
Hear me testify
She set my heart beating way too fast
On my knees pleading how long can I last
Dressing like a young man in a punk rock shirt
While the years pile upon me like graveyard dirt
My Daddy didn't raise his pride and joy
To be nobody's whipping boy
To that I will testify
Hear me testify
I'm gonna testify
If you wait too long life will pass you by
What will you do when love spits in your eye
What will it take for you to understand
There is no truth in a one night stand
It's all right to have some fun with anyone willing
It's all right to live in sin as long as you let love in
Hate to find myself in a hotel room
Perfume on the pillow good girl gone
Painting on the wall reminds me of home
Memories of life there keep me going
When I saw my folks die I learned life is short
So I live every day for what it's worth
To that I will testify
Hear me testify
I'm gonna testify
You got one life try to live it right
Don't you hurt no-one it'll be all right
As long as you testify
