Twenty So

[Verse 1]
Queen size mattress on an old wood oak floor
And I don't see the need in closin' a screen door
I wanna hear the birds when the day finally comes
I fear all my days of bein' young are done, or only just begun

[Verse 2]
How close can a man come to God before dyin'?
About as close as you were when you were tryin'
To shade the sun from your eyes on the creek's edge darlin'
There's a bar 'round the bend a man is bendin' blues guitar in

[Chorus]
When the day is done
And those neon lights call you home
You'll be beggin' for a savior to let you savor
The savage times of twenty-so
When the night is through
And those American girls are headed home
You'll be beggin' of your savior to let you save her
From the sweet nights of twenty-so

[Verse 3]
And I know how hard it is to love a boy like me
With my dry sense of humor and my reckless tendencies
But not all labor's done with hardened hands
You've been chompin' at the bit, just to love an honest man

[Chorus]
So when the day is done
And those neon lights call you home
You'll be beggin' of a savior to let you savor
The savage times of twenty-so
When the night is through
And those American girls are headed home
You'll be beggin' of your savior to let you save her
From the sweet nights of twenty-so

[Chorus]
So when the day is done
And those neon lights call you home
You'll be beggin' for your savior to let you savor
The savage times of twenty-so
When the night is through
And those American girls are headed home
You'll be beggin' of your savior to let you save her
From the sweet nights of twenty-so
