Text Book
I guess you could call it text bookI was looking for the father i wanted backAnd i thought i found it in brentwoodIt seemed only appropriateYou’d easily have my back
And then 3 was the issue of herI didn’t even like myselfOr love the life i hadAnd there you were with shining starsStanding blue with open armsYou touched the detrimentMost of the friends i knew already had
You’ve got a thunder birdMy daddy had one twoLet’s rewrite historyI’ll do this dance with youYou know i’m not that girlYou know i’ll never beMaybe just the way we’re differentCould set me free
And there we were screamingBlack lives matter in the crowdBy the old man river &I saw you saw who i amGod i wish i was with my fatherHe could see us in all our splendorAll the things i couldn’t want for him
I screamed for them ah ahI screamed for them ah ah
Could we do this dance againDo you think if i go blondeWe could get our old love backI guess this is really the endI never felt jealous beforeThis year but i’m jealous now
People say we’re too much alikeBut maybe finally that’ll make it rightIn the end of all these sleepless nights
Other men i met felt rightWould smile at you and stick a knifeIn your back finallyI met you so i’m not wondering why
You’ve got a thunder birdMy daddy had one twoLet’s rewrite a storyI’ll do this dance with you
You know i’m not that girlYou know i’ll never beMaybe just the way we’re differentCould set me free
There we were screamingBlack lives matter in the crowdBy the old man river &I saw you saw who i am
God i wish i was with my fatherHe could see us in all our splendorAll the things i couldn’t want for him
I screamed for them ah ahI screamed for them ah ah
Old man river keeps rollingWith or without himOld man river keeps rollingWithout him oh my old manOld man river keeps rolling oh
Watch now
