Chris Bandi Lyrics

I always knew she had a set of wings
He was aware that despite her outward appearance, she had ambitions and dreams.

underneath that blue jean jacket
The way she dressed and presented herself did not reflect her inner desires.

she’d never say she was too good for me
She never boasted about her potential or seemed arrogant.

but I’d tell you she was if you asked me
He believes she deserves more than the life they have in their small town, and would admit that to others.

she was made for more than this two lane nowhere john deer town
He thinks her potential outstrips what the town they grew up in can offer her.

I wish holdin’ her didn’t mean I was holdin’ her back and holdin’ her down
He recognizes that being in a relationship with him could potentially prevent her from fully realizing her dreams.

but it does
Unfortunately, he feels that his presence in her life may be detrimental to her future success.

So here I am sippin’ this let her go good bye drink
He is acknowledging that it may be time for them to separate in order for both of them to grow and pursue their desired paths.

Thinking damn that’s right
He has come to understand that sometimes love requires sacrifice and wishes her the best.

The best things in life are
He emphasizes that the most valuable aspects of life cannot be bought or sold.

(Free) free as bird when its flying

(Free) free as the sun when its shin’in
He compares freedom to the warmth and light provided by the sun, meaning that it is essential for a good life.

(free) free as the road windin’ out in front of her (front of her)
The open road represents endless possibilities and direction at will which he wants his partner to have.

(free) free as a prayer on Sunday
He sees prayer as a way of connecting to a higher power and seeking guidance which should be free and accessible to all.

(Free) singin please bring her back to me someday
He recognizes that there may be an eventual possibility for them to rekindle their love after they've achieved individual growths and realizations.

But if loving her (loving her) taught me anything
He admits that while it may be hard to let go, the experiences of being with her have taught him valuable lessons.

It’s the best things in life are free (free)
He concludes that true love and happiness cannot be bought, but are priceless and true blessings in life.

She use to love my ole rusted two tone pick up truck
He remembers how she loved him despite his humble belongings.

But it feels so empty now turnin’ these keys and firin’ it up
After their separation, what was once a source of pride and comfort for him now serves as a reminder of their love story that has concluded.

I wish the world fit in a county line sunset
He longs for a simpler life where things were easier to understand and the world could be seen as clearly defined boundaries.

But like they said the best things in life are
He recalls the lesson he's learned that the greatest things in life are intangible and invaluable.

man it makes you start to think
He is led to reflect on the way the past has led him to his present and future decisions.
