For a While

Ooh, in this prison
Football fields and plastic smocks
So unforgiven
Drag me by my feet for months
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I might be here for a while

Ooh, drink some liquor
Stay out back and bump a line
Ooh, might make me sicker
'Least it gets me feeling warm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I might be here for a while

I'm a no good high-school-nothing
Mama says that it'll pass
Blink your eyes and you'll be something
This will all be in the past
I'll say, "Mama, I don't know, but I'll sure as hell try"
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I might be here for a while

Ooh, Music City
It's song bursting and the air is nice
Ooh, time is ticking
Still haven't seen my name in lights
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I might be here for a while

I'm a no good Nashville-nothing
Mama says that it'll pass
Blink your eyes and you'll be something
And this will all be in the past
And I'll say, "Mama, I don't know, but I'll sure as hell try"
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I might be here for a while

Be awhile and take some time
Might as well enjoy the ride
Be awhile and take some time
Might as well enjoy the ride
Be awhile and take some time
Might as well enjoy the ride

I'm a no good Nashville-nothing
Mama says that it'll pass
Blink your eyes and you'll be something
And this will all be in the past
So mama rest assure that I'll sure as hell try

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I might be here for a while
