lyrics

We grew up riding in the back of dad's automobile
An old black home with four doors and walls made of steel
He'd drop us at a motel, go out for the night, and he wouldn't be home 'till the morning light
I'd sit you down and try to clear your head of fright
And say "It'll all be alright"

You tried to run and hide but the walls came crumbling down
You tried to chase a dream but you knew you couldn't stick around
And when they burned down all that you love
Did you think they could never get to you?
No matter how bad it may get I'll still say

"It'll all be alright"
I'll pull you out of the fire
Burn my hands black as coal
As I try to give you what you've been waiting for
And drive off into the night
It's gonna be alright

Everybody's got their scars
You've got yours and you know that I've got mine too
When you open up a door you know I'll be right here beside you
'Cause I made a promise when I was still young
That I'd never let them get too close
And no matter how bad it may get
I'll still say

"It'll all be alright"
I'll pull you out of the fire
Burn my hands black as coal
As I try to give you what you've been waiting for
And we drive off into the night
It's gonna be alright

I may have lied
I may have cheated
Even stolen my way to the top
I may be broken
But I'm not defeated

It'll all be alright
I'll pull you out of the fire
Burn my hands black as coal
As I try to give you what you've been waiting for
And we'll drive off into the night
It's gonna be alright
I'll pull you out of the fire
Burn my hands black as coal
As I try to give you what you've been waiting for
And drive off into the night
It's gonna be alright
