Can't Sit Still

  • I'm a kid in a classroom sitting on her hands
    I'm a wayward Baptist trying not to dance
    I been looking in the mirror saying, "Girl, you gotta chill"
    But I can't sit still

    I'm an outside dog on a inside leash
    I'm a limb in the wind trying to shake off a leaf
    I'm a raindrop running down a cracked windshield
    I can't sit still

    I ain't caught my breath since I took my first
    So I guess I'll rest when I'm in the dirt
    It's a sweet relief, it's a bitter pill
    I'm an addict, it's a habit I can't kill

    I can't sit still
    I can't sit still

    When my hat's hung up and my boots ain't on
    Thoughts in my head have a mind of their own
    I'm climbing up the walls, I'm going downhill
    I can't sit still

    I ain't caught my breath since I took my first
    So I guess I'll rest when I'm in the dirt
    It's a sweet relief, it's a bitter pill
    I'm an addict, it's a habit I can't kill

    I can't sit still
    I can't sit still

    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running

    I ain't caught my breath since I took my first
    So I guess I'll rest when I'm in the dirt
    It's a sweet relief, it's a bitter pill
    I'm an addict, it's a habit I can't kill
    It's what brought me up, it's what brings me down
    Yeah, what got me here just might take me out
    It's a sweet relief, it's a bitter pill
    I'm an addict, it's a habit I can't kill

    I can't sit still
    I can't sit still

    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    Running and gunning and running
    I can't sit still Writer/s: Aslan Freeman, Dallas Wilson, Lainey Wilson, Trannie Anderson
