The Revisionist

[00:13.78] Cousin with a skateboard
[00:15.56] Steep driveway
[00:17.44] Said, "I dare you," so I did
[00:19.98] Now I got
[00:20.88] Two scarred knees
[00:22.76] And elbows
[00:24.47] As long as I live
[00:27.97] At the pink house
[00:29.66] With the wet paint
[00:30.67] 6314 Wild Oak Drive
[00:33.93] Momma said
[00:34.90] "Don't touch it," but I did
[00:37.64] Red-handed, my first lie
[00:41.46] It's a shame you can't erase a bad decision
[00:44.75] I've been reading into mine since '93
[00:48.19] Can't outwrite it if it's wrong once it's written
[00:51.74] Can't edit, just let it be history
[00:54.83] Story of my life
[00:58.05] I think that I'm finally getting it
[01:01.61] I own it all
[01:04.89] But I'd like to call The Revisionist
[01:09.68] In Chattanooga, young love
[01:12.22] Wasn't ready
[01:14.14] But he was, so I did
[01:16.83] Now I'm here
[01:17.42] Thinking 'bout how to tell my daughter
[01:20.49] Someday 'bout that Holiday Inn
[01:24.22] It's a shame you can't erase a bad decision
[01:27.94] I've been reading into mine since '93
[01:31.18] Can't outwrite it if it's wrong once it's written
[01:34.56] Can't edit, just let it be history
[01:37.73] Story of my life
[01:40.83] I think that I'm finally getting it
[01:44.49] I own it all
[01:48.20] But I'd like to call
[01:50.51] The Revisionist
[01:52.84] To destroy all the evidence
[01:56.07] And all my tears on the cutting room floor
[01:59.77] Back to those relationships
[02:02.30] When I threw the hit
[02:03.53] Prove that I'm not like that anymore
[02:19.29] It's a shame you can't erase a bad decision
[02:22.79] I've been reading into mine since '93
[02:26.17] Can't outwrite it if it's wrong once it's written
[02:29.34] Can't rip out all the pages 'bout you and me
[02:32.74] It's all in quotes
[02:35.55] And that's all she wrote, now, isn't it
[02:39.67] I own it all
[02:42.96] But I'd still like to call The Revisionist
[02:48.80]
