The Right Way

I put it in drive and I turn on the heat
Her picture on the dash the load in the back seat
This last one will pay for what is due
I'll keep my promise and finally be through

I've been blocking that sunshine
with a deadbolt on my door
The bottles and pills on my windowsill
So I don't have to feel anymore
I've been blocking that sunshine
One day it's gonna come on through
It'll burn like hell but I'll just tell them
That I did it all for you

It started with weed at the age of thirteen
My ma found the cash while folding my jeans
Things in school I didn't understand
So I listened to the cash talking in my hand
She didn't bat an eye when she saw that ring
And turned her head when I did those things
The right way is just a shade of grey
But eviction notice always reads the same

I've been blocking that sunshine
with a deadbolt on my door
The bottles and pills on my windowsill
So I don't have to feel anymore
I've been blocking that sunshine
One day it's gonna come on through
It'll burn like hell but I'll just tell them
That I did it all for you

I've made this drop a thousand times
But things go wrong in the blink of an eye
Glass falls down bullets whistle and hiss
I grab the bag and I hope that they miss
A cigarette burns and I feel the heat
While her picture glows on the dash
