lyrics

disrespectful if I had to describe it in one word that’s what it would be he grabbed my shoulder yanked me off the couch and out the door as if I was a kid as if I was a kid and I cried into my Costco hot dog and I cried all the way to Fayetteville down highway 54 should have quit then but I had no other opportunities at the time so I drove to Jonesboro again and it was only to receive the news they were sending me home they were sending me home and I cried at the QT gas pump I felt so angry inside I ripped myself a part and in a neon colored haze I’m a bigger man today no more being pushed down no more getting kicked around if you want my time you gotta treat me like a man no more being afraid no more bullies in my way I’m a stronger man and it’s a brand new day and I hate myself a little less than yesterday I still feel angry sometimes like a Centralia Pennsylvania fire in the back of my mind I can’t put it out it will burn and burn all I can do is leave it behind is just leave it behind guess it found me the ghost of mistakes past but all around me I see the greener grass cause I’m on the other side I’m a bigger man today no more being pushed down no more getting kicked around if you want my time you gotta treat me like a man no more being afraid no more bullies in my way I’m a stronger man and it’s a brand new day and I hate myself a little less than yesterday
