Instrumental Verse 1: Conversing mowing machines for my yard Optimum power for the price Three and a quarter, the mower is yours: “USA steel, not a toy” Pre-Chorus Mulling it over a deal of a deal Only a fool would pass by Chorus There’s plastic on motorized equipment That seems cheap to me I can not take the yard on empty handed I can’t cry over my weeds Instrumental Verse 2: Ten percent discount a start guarantee Gas and a check for the oil "If failed to clean, 30 day return policy" That's comforting Pre-Chorus I don’t know where to go Tried the other stores No one has this kind of deal Chorus There’s plastic on motorized equipment, That seems cheap to me. I can not take the yard on empty handed; I can’t cry over my weeds Chorus 2: Who cares about motorized equipment Someone help me, please I don’t want to go home empty handed I can’t get any good sleep.

Instrumental Verse 1 Harry, fifteen, summertime GT250 flyin’ by On a dare Unprepared Harry, fifteen, not a care Chorus Wouldn’t you change your mind on the other side?

Instrumental Verse 1 You and I Contemplate the colors of the sky You bring all the fire to my eyes While I’m just there to hold you tight Maybe we, we’ll walk down to the south part of the street And there i’ll find the very worst in me Cause you’re my light Chorus So why’s anything happened at all All in due time, they say The signs, then you’ll see Passing you by, one at a time, you’ll see I wish I could change my mind I wish I was back in time I coulda changed my mind this time, this time, this time. Verse 2 Constantly, I’m checkin’ over shoulders as we speak To see if there’s a remnant of old me Same person, new mistakes. How can you know, it’s contrived, it’s brittle End of the street, all caught up in the middle of time Time won’t save my life Chorus So why’s anything happened at all All in due time, they say The signs, then you’ll see Passing you by, one at a time, you’ll see I wish I could change my mind I wish I was back in time I coulda changed my mind this time, this time, this time. Instrumental Chorus So why’s anything happened at all All in due time, they say The signs then you’ll see Passing you by, one at a time, you’ll see

Verse 1 Who’s to fault? You look like you need to cry I see that you’ve had some better times You know I’ve been entwined since ‘09 Ooooooo You know I can empathize this time Instrumental Verse 2 Who’s hang up? You just compartmentalize every time And acted daily at an early age This goes here, that goes there But it’s everywhere Ooooooooo Fueled with nothing to show Instrumental Outro Say what’s on your mind There’s no better time You and I We’re more alike than not More alike than not We’re more alike than not More alike than not
