lyrics

I see the climate changing and the water in the air
The people all around me, I'm not one of them I swear
Your attitude is changing while mine slowly melts away
You ask me to give back
Well I'll get back to you someday
I sit here in the ocean right beside my island friends
I've been down this road
But I don't know where it ends

People used to tell me
Live like every day's your last
I tried it all last month and now July has come and passed
I know life can be terrible, and people can be mean
But you can always take the edge off with a Bourbon, ice, and cream
Adversity is everywhere, but what you do depends
I've been down this road
But I don't know where it ends

I don't believe in destiny
And I don't believe in fate
I don't know just what I'll become
I'm sure it ain't that great
But I can see the future
I don't need the seeing eye
In about three seconds I am gonna tell a lie
I believe in this song and the message that it sends
I've been down this road
But I don't know where it ends
