I've tried to make the most out of a hopeless situation 

But turning something wrong into something right 

But everything I do brings out the worst in you 

Seems we always wind up gettin' in a fight 

I tell our friends again it's just a phase we're going through 

It's the kind of trouble you know that won't ever last 

But the farther down I go and the more I think I know 

We've headed down a rough and rocky path 

So if you love me like you say you really love me why you wanna put me to the test 

Yeah if you don't want me it won't disappoint me I just wanna give my heart a rest 

I try to rise above the petty gossip of this town 

I try to keep my nose clean and my eyes open wide 

But people talk so much it's hard to stay in touch 

With the way you really feel down deep inside 

Oh the sound of rolling thunder keeps on calling out to me 

Way out on the highway is the place I wanna be 

It's hard to make it work when I feel just like a jerk 

And the past's the only future that I see 

So if you love me like you say... 

Yeah I just wanna give my heart a rest 

Yeah I just wanna give my heart a rest
