Once again   driving for 6 hours   just to get to that place made for me   I took some time to rediscover   lift my head above the covers      pick up the pieces and throw them away   tell all my friends that someday I'll stay   but when I'm gone take my ashes   and pour me over the meadows      cause we're only here once   so take what you can   it's all in my best interests   to be who I am   and Jackie's getting stronger   now the clouds are no longer around      sun goes down   scattered thoughts bring melodies   open skies open roads paved for me      I'm always writing this book of my life   someday you'll read about me      pick up the pieces and put them in place   childhood memories brought tears to my face   and when the world comes down crashing   let's go up to the meadow      we're only here once   so take what you can   it's all in my best interests   to be who I am   and Jackie's getting stronger   now the clouds are no longer around      we're only here once   so take it to far   it's all in your best interests to be who you are   and Jackie's getting stronger   now the clouds are no longer around      yeah yeah   yeah yeah   yeah yeah   yeah yeah      we're only here once   so take what you can   it's all in my best interests   to be who I am   anc Jackie's getting stronger   now the clouds are no longer around      we're only here once   so take it to far   it's all in your best interests to be who you are   and Jackie's getting stronger   now the clouds are no longer around
