I've tried to make the most out of a hopeless situation But turning something wrong into something right But everything I do brings out the worst in you Seems we always wind up gettin' in a fight I tell our friends again it's just a phase we're going through It's the kind of trouble you know that won't ever last But the farther down I go and the more I think I know We've headed down a rough and rocky path
So if you love me like you say you really love me Why you wanna put me to the test Yeah if you don't want me it won't disappoint me I just wanna give my heart a rest
I try to rise above the petty gossip of this town I try to keep my nose clean and my eyes open wide But people talk so much it's hard to stay in touch With the way you really feel down deep inside Oh the sound of rolling thunder keeps on calling out to me Way out on the highway is the place I wanna be It's hard to make it work when I feel just like a jerk And the past's the only future that I see
So if you love me like you say you really love me Why you wanna put me to the test Yeah if you don't want me it won't disappoint me I just wanna give my heart a rest Yeah, I just wanna give my heart a rest Yeah, I just wanna give my heart a rest
