Twenty So - Intellectual

[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

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

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

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

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

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
