Bad Influence

There’s a shadow at the end of the road and I think I’m casting it
There’s a bill at the edge of the bar and my shadow’s ditching it
There’s a spark at the back of my brain and I think I’m losing it
I’m losing itHad a late night in Nashville that ended in the back of a cop car
They said, “Son, is this really what you wanted to be when you grew up?”
I said, “Sir if you only knew about my shadow
And what a fun night this is for us”You’re a bad influence on me
But I don’t wanna change a single thing
(Ahh)
You got me staring at the sun
For me you’re but the only one
(Ahh)I remember us having a smoke on the corner of paradise
We laughed at the irony of naming a beat down deli Paradise
I thought, man what a metaphor for our state of denial
But hey, they tell me money can’t buy me loveYou’re a bad influence on me
But I don’t wanna change a single thing
(Ahh)
You got me staring at the sun
For me you’re but the only one
(Ahh)
