The Airborne Toxic Event - A Certain Type Of Girl lyrics

When I was a boy My daddy told me, “son Don’t you ever mess with a certain type of girl” No, I’ve wished more than twice that I’d taken dad’s advice I wish it more than anything in this world He grabbed himself a bottle and he looked me in the eye And he’d take a plug and wipe it from his chin He’d say “son, don’t put much part in those matters of the heart” I wished I had listened to him And tell me oh Jesus! I’m asking you please How do I make this endless heartache cease? Lord, I’d believe in you if you’d believe in me too I just want a little peace (Come on now) Us big city boys We don’t think about it much It’s all whiskey, wine, and messing around with d** All these secrets that we keep Never knowing where we’ll sleep I guess I always thought it was enough But I’ve this feeling in my heart These days of wanting more Something to ease this weary head So I guess I thought that girl might redeem me from this world Lord, I should’ve asked you instead And tell me oh Jesus! I’m down on my knees I know that I’m no long suffering priest But I believe in you and could you believe in me too I just want a little peace Oh lord, I just need a little peace
