lyrics

Out Loud Permission © 2018 Michelle Leverette & Richard Dance

V1
Somebody spray-painted each blade of grass green
Making life out to be a beautiful scene
Thought that I could have a happy little world
Grabbing all the toys everything I saw,
Taking too much but never giving at all
Thought that all the stuff could really set me free

Pre 1
But that's not what can fix
The mess inside of this
One that I call me

Chorus
I'm giving you out loud permission, a calling, a commission
To flat out tell me when I'm doing wrong
You can call me on the carpet, yell at me to stop it
Speak the truth in love just like a country song

V2
Nobody told me I would end up broke
My future in ashes blown away with the smoke
I woulda told em that's funny and laughed out loud
A dozen cryin and laughin emotions
Self reflective real devotions
Then a break that made my momma proud

Pre 2
But that's not what can fix
The mess inside of this
One who you see now

Chorus

Bridge
Some wisdom and correction in my progress not perfection but I'll move in the right direction from now on

Chorus x2
