I'd love to show you but you wouldn't go I'd love to take you but I know the way you roll You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fineĬopyright © 2023 Billy Strings. You can cling to your madness You can swim down and hold your breath But I'll be standing on dry ground with all of the rest You should have been gone for years now You should have packed up and left this place You should have ducked out and given up your spot in the race Like a wave through the ocean Like the dust on an august day While we're moving you won't stand a chance in our way While we're wishing and watching While we're wishing and watching here We won't see your illusional blanket of fear While we're young and resilient While we're fearless and fancy free We'll be fine without you and your numbers and lines I'd love to show you but you wouldn't go I'd love to take you but I know the way you roll You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine It's a cure for the bleakness It's a pill for the day to day It's just a way for me to shake loose the dust and the clay You can't stop us from dancing You can't stop us from feeling high We can't help it if we'd like to stay out all night You can't stop us from moving You can't stop us from feeling fine You can't stop us from putting our lives on the line ![]()
