[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I don t care about things cause they don t care about me
N.C.
My skin s a lot thicker than you d think it d be
And I don t need nothing to tie me down
I don t need no one to care should I leave town
[Verse 2]
I saw the way they looked and I heard them laugh
N.C.
They couldn t wait to talk until I turned my back
Well I won t be that bitter taste in their mouths
So I ain t never going back to your family s house
[Chorus]
Waking up for the first time
Is when you don t stop running at the finish line
[Verse 3]
Some things in life they stay the same
N.C.
And they are usually the things we d wish would change
So I won t search for strength in someone else
Cause I can pat my own back by myself
[Chorus]
Waking up for the first time
Is when you don t stop running at the finish line
Waking up for the first time
Is when you don t stop running at the finish line
[Middle eight]
[Verse 4]
I won t worry about the roof that ain t over my head
N.C.
Hell I d rather sleep out under these stars instead
And all the money in the world couldn t buy me back
Ah, the Lord knows I m too proud for that
[Chorus]
Waking up for the first time
Is when you don t stop running at the finish line
Waking up for the first time
Is when you don t stop running at the finish line
[Outro]
