lyrics

It ain't fair but I know it to be true
By myself, I can make my way better even light of all this worst
But I can't lie
It hurts my heart to know that we are truly helpless
And that all that we love will soon burn
It'll all burn

I've always wanted to be a nascar dad, a nascar dad
Way too buzzed for a Sunday, my wife checkin in every 50 some odd laps
I've always wanted to have a couple kids
Let em run around, let em be their selves
I've always wanted to be a nascar dad but the world won't last

I know there be people hangin round
Starting families, having babies
Bringin em into a life that'll hurt them
Big men rulin the world don't care about us and our paths
They just want to burn our world to the ground because they can
They know they can

I've always wanted to be a nascar dad, a nascar dad
Way too buzzed for a Sunday, my wife checkin in every 50 some odd laps
I've always wanted to have a couple kids
Let em run around, let em be their selves
I've always wanted to be a nascar dad but the world won't last

Profit margins are more valuable than people
Why would I try to family when I know things will be even harder so soon?
For all of us out there
Yeah then, soon enough for everyone
I don't want to bring kids into this life without asking first
And I can't

I've always wanted to be a nascar dad, a nascar dad
Way too buzzed for a Sunday, my wife checkin in every 50 some odd laps
I've always wanted to have a couple kids
Let em run around, let em be their selves
I always wanted to be a nascar dad but the world won't last

But the world won't last
