I've tried to make the most out of a hopeless situation By turning something wrong into something right But everything I do brings out the worst in you Seems we always wind up getting in a fight I tell our friends again it's just a phase we're going through It's the kind of trouble you know won't ever last But the farther down I go the more I think I know We're headed down a rough and rocky path So if you love me like you say you really love me Why you wanna put me to the test? If you don't want me it won't disappoint me I just wanna give my heart a rest I tried to rise above the petty gossip of this town I tried to keep my nose clean and my eyes open wide But people talk so much and it's hard to stay in touch With the way you really feel down deep inside All the sound of rolling thunder keeps on calling out to me The way I know the highway is the place I wanna be And it's hard to make it work when I feel just like a jerk And the past the only future that I see So if you love me like you say you really love me You would not wanna put me to the test If you don't want me it won't disappoint me I just wanna give my heart a rest I just wanna give my heart a rest Yeah I just wanna give my heart a rest I just wanna give my heart a rest
