Mike Mains & The Branches Renegades
[Verse 1]
Thought we were bulletproof
Smoking your older brother's cigarettes
Just two country boys
Man, we never should have pulled into that driveway
But I still hear the blackbirds
Singing in the branches above
I see the smoke
Rising out of my father's gun
I smelled the fear in your heart
When you left me alone
On Kelly Road, singing
[Chorus 1]
All that I want is to be young again
Father, forgive me for all my sins
[Verse 2]
I used to fantasize
Cracking his skull open wide
I'd paint the walls with his blood
Oh, how he'd scream
I wish you never would have pulled into that driveway
But I think I just saw
The devil in my old man's eyes
Like a demon he cries
"It's time to get inside"
Guess that explains the bruises
You see from time to time
[Chorus 2]
All that I want is to be young again
Father, forgive me for all my sins
All that I want is to be young again
Oh, we were renegades
Renegades, renegades
We had gasoline for blood
[Bridge]
We're all just kids in our parents' clothes
Holding each other, half-drunk, trying to figure it out
We're all just kids in our parents' clothes
On our knees, singing, "Jesus, won't you carry me"
Brother, you're all I'll ever need
For you, I'd let them tear the flesh right off of these
White bones if it's what you needed
What you needed
What you needed
Oh
What you needed
Oh
[Chorus 2]
All that I want is to be young again
Father, forgive me for all my sins
All that I want is to be young again
Oh, we were renegades
Renegades, renegades
We had gasoline for blood
[Tag]
Oh
Thought we were bulletproof
