Once In A While Lyrics

Got my mother's soul, but the ways of my father

Soft hearted but my head's made of stone

Seems to me that I've had to barter

For everything that I've ever owned

But I do what I can like any other man

Just trying to make it one more mile

And you said that I need to get away from misery

So I do it every once in a while

Bright as the sky, soft as a candle

She made my heart just shake like a storm

A love so strong that I couldn't handle

Now it's busted up and washed to the shore

And I did what I could to gather up the wood

Build myself a brand new smile

It's impossible for me not to think of that girl

And so I do it every once in a while

I'm headed back to sink my shoes in he clay

Find that woman and appease my mistakes

Sorry lady I just got tired of waiting for your love

Now I do what I can to be a better man

Try like hell to make her smile

It's impossible for me not to be with that girl

And so I do it every once in a while

Now I do it more than once in a while
