I used to think that I was here
To change the world
That I was made
for greater things
But now I see that it's the
small, tender times
that I hold dear
And the peace it brings
Now I know why I am here.
I used to love to play to crowds
all around the world
thousands of faces singing along
looking up at me
Now I sing in smaller rooms
for my biggest fans
I play all my greatest hits
an intimate show for three
Now I know why I am here.
After all I've seen and done
after all that I've achieved
my greatest accomplishments
are sitting in front of me
Now I know why I am here.

Woke up this morning to a haze that ain’t there
I got a 2 by 4 that’s stuck in my hair
I’m playing records that ain’t got no grooves
I’m spending credit cards that no one approves
Monkeys in a jungle
Ride the ferris wheel
I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me*
I’m readin’ between the lines
I don’t hear what they say to me
I’m servin em tales in kind
But they don’t want to let me be
Don’t want it
I’m gonna leave all my demons behind
I spend a minute to buy a whole day
Start the engine and I drive away
The champagne cork hits you in the eye
They ain’t no hook on this fishin line
---
Questions ain’t the answer
Illusion of a dream
I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me
I’m readin’ between the lines
I don’t hear what they say to me
I’m servin em tales in kind
But they don’t want to let me be
Don’t want it
I’m gonna leave all my demons behind
Swimmin upstream
You know what I mean
I ain’t gonna play for this team
Thanksgivin’ cactus only blooms in the dark
Don’t need no preacher cause I know my part
Life is but a number
Beads upon a string
I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me
I’m readin’ between the lines
I don’t hear what they say to me
I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I hope they don’t follow me
I’m servin em tales in kind
But they don’t want to let me be
I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I hope they don’t follow me
Don’t want it
I’m gonna leave all my demons behind

AG Y'all - Unbreakable

We never know how much time we have.
Write the song that says what you want to leave behind.
Unbreakable
I leave you with this song
For you to know
My love for you will always carry on, it’s…
Unbreakable, unbreakable
Before you came along, I felt just fine
Was living life alone but it was mine
Then you came and took my heart away
Before I go there’s something I must say
Unbreakable
I leave you with this song
For you to know
My love for you will always carry on, it’s…
Unbreakable, unbreakable
It’s always been the truth, not hard to read
Make sure that you have everything you need
We always know our time will come someday
Before I go there something that I must say
Unbreakable
I leave you with this song
For you to know
My love for you will always carry on, it’s…
Unbreakable, unbreakable

Poured my coffee strong today
You’d be half of the way
to the Keys
But for me
Dishes piled up in the sink
On the brink of remembering a song
the tune’s all wrong
I’ll hear you on the radio
Don’t forget me when I go
The general lays his saber down
On the fields where we drown
in our shame
pass the flame
they named the river for the flood
spilled their blood in the soil
Flowed like wine
through crooked lines
With walls as sound as Jericho
Don’t forget me when I go
And when you’re back the patience is the proof
Let’s sit and watch the fireflies from the roof
where you gone, say I don’t know
Don’t forget me when I go

BROKEN DREAMS IN A PLASTIC CUP
WORN OUT WORDS IN AN OLD SHOE BOX
HAND ME DOWNS IN A SECOND HAND STORE
PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE THIRD WORLD WAR
I WILL LEAVE BEHIND
ALL THE THINGS LEFT TO BE LEFT BEHIND
A PILE OF MEMORIES IN AN EMPTY LOT
A BUNCH OF MEMORIES THAT TIME FORGOT
THERE ARE ZOMBIES WAITING OUTSIDE DOOR
THERE ARE ZOMBIES LOOKING FOR MORE
I WILL LEAVE BEHIND
ALL THE THINGS LEFT TO BE LEFT BEHIND
I DO RECALL A PLACE IN THE SUN
A PLACE OF LOVE AND A PLACE OF LAUGHTER
AND EVERYONE WAS AT THE FEAST
AND EVERYONE WAS HAPPY EVER AFTER
I WILL LEAVE BEHIND
ALL THE THINGS LEFT TO BE LEFT BEHIND

What’s gonna be my legacy
What’s gonna last for posterity
Got some songs some are shitty
Production sounding like early Whitney
Uh, coming with the breakdown what
With the breakdown yeah
Uh, coming with the breakdown what
With the breakdown yeah
What’s gonna be my legacy
What’s gonna last for posterity
Got some songs some are shitty
Production sounding like early Whitney
Let’s get weird, postemodern
Who really gives a fuck
They can’t all be winners
Might as well try my luck
Place something here that’s kinda weird
Vincent Pricey, *cackle badly*
What’s gonna be my legacy
What’s gonna last for posterity
Got some songs some are shitty
This ones real bad, know what I mean?

v1:
Hello world, you're welcome
For what I'm leaving behind
The brutal truth and then some
I hope that you don't mind
ch:
But it's graduation day, things will never be the same
You might as well step aside, don't ask me to explain
She'll do her best to turn you upside down
Try as you might, you will not hear the sound
And it's got to be this way
It's graduation day
v2:
Hello world, how are you
I hope that you're OK
Who could've guessed how far you'd come
We hoped that you would stay
ch:
But it's graduation day, things will never be the same
You might as well step aside, don't ask me to explain
She'll do her best to turn you inside out
Try as you might, they will not hear you shout
And it's got to be this way
-- solo --
v3:
Hello world, I'm sorry
I should have warned you first
You thought you'd wait 'til tomorrow
But you could not find the words
ch:
But it's graduation day, things will never be the same
You might as well step aside, don't ask me to explain
She'll do her best to show you what's inside
Fly by night, but at least you tried
And it's got to be this way
It's graduation day
v1.5:
Hello world, you're welcome

Like diving in for a swim
Or careless mud on my feet
Driving down the road waving at everyone you meet
Knowing that I’ve my done my best
In pursuit of happiness
I’ll bid you, adieu
Here’s to a party, and a good ‘Ol time
Celebrating all we had, give me peace of mind
Hat’s off to y’all, I’ve had a ball
Wherever I am going,
I just want to leave the love
Don’t put me in the ground
Throw my ashes in the air
And take the difference with you on your way out of town
Knowing that I’ve my done my best
In pursuit of happiness
I’ll bid you, adieu
Here’s to a party, and a good ‘Ol time
Celebrating all we had, give me peace of mind
Hat’s off to y’all, I’ve had a ball
Wherever I am going,
I just want to leave the love
