Nick Machado GUN POWDER A GRIN VERSE 1 I was young and dumb is kind Lost for so long trying to find The man I thought that I should be Or the man I thought the world wanted to see Days blurred into the nights I was losing track of wasting time Pint glass reflections in the neon light Drinking it all til feeling wrong felt right Destination on the run Mistaking pain for having fun But Im no stranger to getting burned After 20 years what had I learned? Only the lonely knew this life Simple and sad until that night I saw the sparks in her eyes And I was ready to ignite CHORUS She came in with Gunpowder and a grin We Locked eyes I knew I couldnt resist She took aim and she fired away That was ten years ago today VERSE 2 We cant just stand around with our hands out Hoping good things come our way Weve gotta go out and get it, fight if we have to Weve gotta seize the day Weve gotta pick our teeth out of the asphalt Weve gotta taste the dirt Weve gotta know what its like to bleed Weve gotta know what its like to hurt CHORUS OUTRO I saw the fire in her eyes And I was ready to ignite
