Ain’t No Use

[Verse 1]
When I was sixteen my biggest dream
Was a V8 screaming burning gasoline
Flying down back roads from flashing lights
The first taste of feeling there was more to life
Turned 21 out in Hollywood
Had a little more fun than I probably should
Burning both ends until the morning light
Caught a whole lot of nothing fishing for those highs

[Chorus]
I wanna slow it on down, and lay some roots
But I can’t turn myself into someone new
Blessed my soul and brought me home
Took my flaws and held them all
I wanna change myself for you, but it ain’t no use

[Verse 2]
I turned 30 with a broken heart
Lost all hope, I was torn apart
No faith left for the road ahead
Then you walked in and found me there
And you turned it all upside down and lit the fuse
Told you I could change, you said “Baby, what’s the use?”

[Chorus]
I wanna slow it on down, and lay some roots
But I can’t turn myself into someone new
Blessed my soul and brought me home
Took my flaws and held them all
I wanna change myself for you, but it ain’t no use

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
I wanna slow it on down, and lay some roots
But I can’t turn myself into someone new
Blessed my soul and brought me home
Took my flaws and held them all
I wanna change myself for you, but it ain’t no use

[Outro]
No, no, no, it ain't no use
No, it ain't no use
