Forever, Whatever

She was a garden
A real blue bird
Light as the wind
She loved Jesus
She had reasons
That I didn't need to get

She cried Mary
She dug catcher
And she went her own way
I couldn't wait
To get straight
Just to see what she'd say

And I'm pretty dumb
But I ain't faded
I ain't naïve
But I ain't jaded
What do you know about me
What do you know about me

I'm determined
And I won't back down
If it takes forever
I'm gonna stick around
I know what's real
I know what's fake
If it takes forever
It's whatever
It's gonna take what it takes
What it takes

I was a hopeful
In blue Levi's
And a red pair of chucks
Macrame bracelet
Fully carburated
Smokin in a green Chevy truck

I was an acolyte
With two black eyes
And a Zeppelin cassette
Pretty bad memory
Ain't that friendly
But I just can't forget

And I'm pretty dumb
But I ain't faded
I ain't naïve
But I ain't jaded
What do you know about me
What do you know about me

I'm determined
And I won't back down
If it takes forever
I'm gonna stick around
I know what's real
I know what's fake
If it takes forever
It's whatever
It's gonna take what it takes
What it takes

I was a wash up
Busted
Head full of sad
Friend-o-the-dope-man
Driving my old van
Blacking out with my old man

And I'm pretty dumb
But I ain't faded
I ain't naïve
But I ain't jaded
What do you know about me
What do you know about me
