and now you all done grown up so fast, now wouldn’t you know?
i asked you to fill up my glass, then you put on a show
so show me you can start up a fire with a singular spark
i asked you to get in the mood, then you glowed in the dark
some is gonna see the light, others get old
i asked you to lead me to victory, you told me to fold

sailing on a struggling ocean, taking my time on a sentimental sea…
knowing that you’ll never go under, you’ll never go under with a man like me, with a man like me…
VERSES:
i decided to live like a cowboy and die like a man
i only ask for a little more time to figure out who i am
wasn’t long before the cowboy developed a cough
i ask you to carry me through, you dropped me off
when the television takes you over, you’re already dead
i asked you to all get ready, you left me instead
hide away the truth and nobody will know
(but the more that you bottle it up, the more it will show)
