[Verse 1: Early Adopted] Well I think we're all set The car is running Luckily, cause the battery died but somebody jumped us No gas and no where to go So I drove as far as I could Until the power steering froze And I guess I just need a different type of scenery I've left this place for someone who hasn't seen these things So good luck because there's not much left I'm pretty sure I've taken all of the good from it Cause' this town was milk dried a long while ago Mothers dry tears because their child has to dry their nose And now I know just from paying attention What not to do, I've seen too many take an early exit And I'm thankful (yup) I've learned a lot, let me tell you Like letting go of the inevitable that have fell through From girlfriends who would rather skip a kiss In order to keep her lipstick in perfect condition It's a privilege really to have had the experience These things I will never do again There's the one's who say they helped and the one's who did And for that, I never will forget my friends (yes) [Hook: Early Adopted] There's been so many in and out of my life Never even had the chance to be good at a goodbye Cause they move too fast I barely saw em And this is becoming quite routine (Know what I mean?) But there's a few that have always been here Who never let me down, to all my friends I've held dear Blood related or not, you're all family the same I want to say thank you, you're who's kept me sane [Verse 2: Early Adopted] My man Nick, you're my heart son, my brother You stood by me through some wild sh** when no one else would've I seen you get stepped on, bro But now you're doing fine I guess the good guys do make it out sometimes And I hope you stay with Chelsea, man She's good for you You two give me hope for the future I mean, we're growing up now and things change But we still laugh and crack jokes just like we used to And that goes for you too Brad, and you David True friends, these two are a few of my favorites Brad, if you go to the army be safe And you know I'm right here While you wait for the results of that court case And Dave, may everything you want come true A lot of times I only want to hear advice from you Evan Hogan, where you at? Here's your pat on the back One of the few natural, genuine cats left Sam X, Dan Craven, Lauren Lecomte Desso, my Tri-Town girls, I love you all Can't forget Palermo, 16 bars, too many names Here's to all the real ones who kept me sane (I'm saying) [Hook: Early Adopted] There's been so many in and out of my life Never even had the chance to be good at a goodbye Cause they move too fast I barely saw em And this is becoming quite routine (Know what I mean?) But there's a few that have always been here Who never let me down, to all my friends I've held dear Blood related or not, you're all family the same I want to say thank you, you're who's kept me sane [Verse 3: Early Adopted] My parents I love em' more than anything Even though they may not know it I owe em' everything Brought me up right and taught me respect Told me that whatever I ended up doing I'd be the best So I just want you to know you are appreciated Words can't express how much I really mean that You both told me not to put anything down in writing Sorry guys I couldn't help myself (I just couldn't) My father The strongest man alive Would take a bullet with pride to see his family thrive The man who worked gutting fish Hands were sliced and slit When he was laid off to make sure he could provide for his kids Want to talk about heart? Well meet my mom The most beautiful woman in my life by far Gave me my sense of humor Taught me how to be a gentleman Put me in line when I was a rebellious kid And she doesn't get why I make these songs Don't worry, your son is happy mom You know I was never one to just be a face in the crowd I promise one day I'll make you proud I love you both [Hook: Early Adopted] There's been so many in and out of my life Never even had the chance to be good at a goodbye Cause they move too fast I barely saw em And this is becoming quite routine (Know what I mean?) But there's a few that have always been here Who never let me down, to all my friends I've held dear Blood related or not, you're all family the same I want to say thank you, you're who's kept me sane Thank you
