Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You sit there in your heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he comes
[Verse 2]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
[Verse 3]
Can we climb this mountain? I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go
[Verse 4]
We're burnin' down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turnin'
When you were young
When you were young
[Verse 5]
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
[Verse 6]
They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while, yeah
[Verse 7]
You sit there in your heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he comes
[Verse 8]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
Talks like a gentleman, like you imagined
When you were young
[Verse 9]
I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman, like you imagined
I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
More than you'll ever know
