Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was a kid
I used to buy and sell gravity
I knew how to fly
And I would teach you for a fee
Broke every window
In my hotel heart
When I was only five years old or twelve years scarred
[Verse 2]
And I'd hear the same voice
Echo in my mind
Said son you got an angel
To chase the devil at night
[Verse 3]
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He'd talk about God
Yeah, he was something like a teacher
He said God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
[Verse 4]
I took a little faith
And put it in a parking lot
I drove to strange town
Full of have and have nots
And as I walked through that storybook life
I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at the night
Oh oh oh
[Verse 5]
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He'd talk about love
Yeah, he was something like a teacher
He said God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
[Verse 6]
Wave
Put your hands up and hands down
Wave
Put your hands up and hands down
Wave
Put your hands up and hands down
[Verse 7]
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He'd talk about love
Yeah, he was something like a teacher
He said God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
[Verse 8]
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
