At first glance this may seem like another song about how much I love my wife, and it is. It's also about taking what's happened to us in the past and using it as fuel to create a better future for ourselves. Go Team!
lyrics
Verse 1:
Throughout our lives we make some small missteps
But I know when I live mine I’ll never have another regret,
Every move we make, it makes us who we are,
And I know just one thing now I’ll never change what lead me here
And I’ve got you to thank.
Chorus:
And if it weren’t for you
I would’ve been exposed as a shister, and not hailed a working class hero
And if it weren’t for you
I may not have been grateful for the gifts I’ve inherited now,
And if it weren’t for you
I may not have been picked up from the gutter down in rock bottom
And if it weren’t for you
When I gave all my love to my wife I may not have known how
Verse 2:
We have our scars body mind and soul,
Doesn’t mean they define us or mean a fucking thing at all
Laughing and joking, screaming bloody fights,
This experience I had it tells me I’ma be alright
And I’ve got you to thank
Chorus:
And if it weren’t for you
I would’ve been exposed as a shister, and not hailed a working class hero
And if it weren’t for you
I may not have been grateful for the gifts I’ve inherited now,
And if it weren’t for you
I may not have been picked up from the gutter down in rock bottom
And if it weren’t for you
When I gave all my love to my wife I may not have known how
