[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I guess you could call it textbook
~#**************#~
I was lookin for the father I wanted back
~#**************#~
And I thought I found it in Brentwood
~#**************#~
It seemed only appropriate youd easily have my back
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
And then there was the issue of her
~#**************#~
I didnt even like myself, or love the life I had
~#**************#~
And there you were with shining stars
~#**************#~
Standin blue with open arms
~#**************#~
You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Youve got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too
~#**************#~
Lets rewrite history, Ill do this dance with you
~#**************#~
You know Im not that girl, you know Ill never be
~#**************#~
Maybe just the way were different could set me free
~#**************#~
And there we were, screamin “Black Lives Matter” in the crowd
~#**************#~
By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am
~#**************#~
God, I wish I was with my father
~#**************#~
He could see us in all our splendor
~#**************#~
All the things I couldnt want for him
~#**************#~
I screamed for them, oh-oh-oh
~#**************#~
I screamed for them, ah-ah
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Could we do this dance again?
~#**************#~
Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back?
~#**************#~
I guess this is really the end
~#**************#~
I never felt jealous before this year, but Im jealous now
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
People say were too much alike
~#**************#~
But maybe, finally, thatll make it right
~#**************#~
At the end of all these sleepless nights
~#**************#~
Other men I met felt right
~#**************#~
Would smile at you and stick a knife
~#**************#~
In your back
~#**************#~
Finally, I met you so Im not wonderin why
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Youve got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too
~#**************#~
Lets rewrite history, Ill do this dance with you
~#**************#~
You know Im not that girl, you know Ill never be
~#**************#~
Maybe just the way were different could set me free
~#**************#~
There we were, screamin “Black Lives Matter” in the crowd
~#**************#~
By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am
~#**************#~
God, I wish I was with my father
~#**************#~
He could see us in all our splendor
~#**************#~
All the things I couldnt want for him
~#**************#~
I screamed for them, oh-oh-oh
~#**************#~
I screamed for them, ah-ah
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Old Man River keeps rollin
~#**************#~
With or without him
~#**************#~
Old Man River keeps rollin
~#**************#~
Without him, oh, my old man
~#**************#~
Old Man River keeps rollin, oh
