Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ran my heart through a chippin' mill
Sold my soul for rock 'n' roll
Gave away all that I could steal
But I always kept the best for you
I always kept the best for you
[Verse 2]
Drank my way through a hurricane
Thinkin' 'bout your weddin' ring
I done a lot of real dumb things
But I always kept the best for you
I always kept the best for you
[Chorus]
Well, I should've seen it a million miles away
We're stardust brought to life
None of us are meant to stay
One thing about it, I'll meet you at the gate
I always kept the best for you
I always kept the best for you
[Verse 3]
There's a moment when time stands still
Day breaks at the top of the hill
Backstrap from the mornin' kill
I always kept the best for you
I always kept the best for you
[Chorus]
The lines get distorted, but the message is the same
We were howlin' at a ghost without a name
Despite what's reported, my love for you remains
I always kept the best for you
I always kept the best for you
[Outro]
Well, they ran my heart through the chippin' mill
Sold my soul for rock and roll
Gave away all that I could steal
I always kept the best for you
