[F#] You know, in the last couple years, a bunch of new ones had come to the surface,
but it sounded like a man like me has basically probably been around for well over ten years.
I don't know where I got this mentality, but I often times, both in my singing and kind of the way,
not like an alter ego, but I just imagine myself as someone, as really from a non-urban environment,
who's like just a good old fashioned real American dude who probably drives a truck and is kind of a shit kicker.
And I think that song to me is always just someone about like, I don't care what your mom says,
because it doesn't matter that she's right, but I'm going to come grab you and we're going to go do our thing.
That type of real man takes the reins song.

[F] This is a night I've been dreaming [C] of forever, [F] the mirror takes a look at my [C] face.
[F] I'll never set foot [Am] in that right hole [Gm] again, but [A#] I'll [F] drive to [G#] your place.
[F] I spit gravel as I back out [C] of the back [F] door and the twenties roll around in my [C] hand.
[F] It's funny now when [Am] I don't show up [G] on Monday, [A#] they're [F] gone nuts [G#] and beat [D] their hats.
[C#] Well, what do [G#] you think of [A#] that?
[F#] She [C#m] says you're [D] throwing life [F#] away [C#m] to [B] move with a man like [F#] me.
[D#m] She's not [C#] blind, [G#] she just don't have a mind.
You [A#] see, this [F]
is a [C] habit I'm breaking now forever.
[F] I'm weary from trying to [C] shake it.
[F]
So when I ask [Am] if you won't give me your hand, [A#] I [F] take it [G#] right [D] now [C#] from your [G#] mother's side of [A#] town.
