I was born in Tennessee
Late July humidity
Doctor said I was lucky to be alive
I've been trouble since the day that I got here

Trouble till the day that I disappear
That'll be the day that I finally get it right
There is hope for me yet
Because God won't forget

All the plans he's made for me
I have to wait and see He's not finished with me yet
I never really was that good in school
I talked too much, broke the rules

Teacher thought I was hopeless fool alright
I don't know how but I made it through
It's one of those things that you've gotta do
But I always had a knack for telling the truth

Chorus
Still wondering why I'm here
Still wrestling with my fear
But oh, He's up to something
And the farther on I go

I've seen enough to know
That I'm, not here for nothing
He's up to something
So now's my time to be a man

Follow my heart as far as I can
No telling where I'm ending up tonight
I never slow down or so it seems
But singing my heart it's one of my dreams
All I gotta do is hold on tight

Chorus
