I was born in Tennessee Late July humidity Doctor said I was lucky to be alive I've been trouble since the day that I got here Trouble till the day that I disappear That'll be the day that I finally get it right There is hope for me yet Because God won't forget All the plans he's made for me I have to wait and see He's not finished with me yet I never really was that good in school I talked too much, broke the rules Teacher thought I was hopeless fool alright I don't know how but I made it through It's one of those things that you've gotta do But I always had a knack for telling the truth Chorus Still wondering why I'm here Still wrestling with my fear But oh, He's up to something And the farther on I go I've seen enough to know That I'm, not here for nothing He's up to something So now's my time to be a man Follow my heart as far as I can No telling where I'm ending up tonight I never slow down or so it seems But singing my heart it's one of my dreams All I gotta do is hold on tight Chorus
