Chosen to Deserve Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We always started by tellin' all our best stories first
So now that it's been awhile, I'll get around
To tellin' you all my worst
Just so you know what you signed up for
What you're dealin' with
Just so you know what you've been chosen to deserve
[Refrain]
I'm the girl that you were chosen to deserve
[Verse 2]
I used to drink 'til I threw up on weeknights at my parents' house
My friends all took Benadryl
'Til they could see shit crawlin' up the walls
One of those times, my friend took a little too much
He had to get his stomach pumped
They took him over to the hospital
And told us he was lucky to survive
[Refrain]
I'm the girl that you were chosen to deserve
[Verse 3]
I was out late, sneakin' into the neighborhood pool
Then I woke up early and taught at the Sunday school
If you're lookin' for me
I'm in the back of an SUV
Doin' it in some cul-de-sac
Underneath a dogwood tree
[Refrain]
I'm the girl that you were chosen to deserve
[Verse 4]
I went to school about three days out of the week
Watered down all the liquor
And then pissed outside in the street
Now all the drugs are gettin' kinda borin' to me
Now everywhere is loneliness and it's in everything
[Refrain]
Thank God that I was chosen to deserve you
'Cause I'm the girl that you were chosen to deserve

What have the artists said about the song?
“Chosen to Deserve” is less about self-evaluation and more about sharing parts of yourself that only someone that has put in the time to get to know you, knows about you and has to accept about you to [get an insight] into your inner circle. The main structure for that is sitting down with your roma...
What have the artists said about this song?
I was kind of inspired by ‘Let There Be Rock’ by Drive-By Truckers — just a song that goes through, piece by piece, a memory of your teen life where you were just doing the stupidest shit. In the Truckers songs he talks about driving home drunk from a Blue Ovster Cult concert and backing into his pa...
