Lyrics
Thank Me Later
© Mitch Townley/Lee Johnson
HE WALKED IN HIS DAUGHTER'S ROOM, SAID "IT'S TIME TO GO
WE CAN'T BE LATE FOR PRACTICE
HOW COME YOU HAVENT CHANGED YOUR CLOTHES?"
SHE SAID DADDY "DO I HAVE TO, JESSICA JUST CALLED
ALL THE GIRLS ARE MEETING, DOWNTOWN AT THE MALL
HE SAID " HON, YOU MADE A PROMISE TO THE TEAM...
THERE'S A BIGGER PICTURE,
THAT RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T SEE
SOMETIMES WHAT YOU WANT,
AIN'T WHAT YOU REALLY NEED
DOWN THE ROAD, YOU'LL LOOK BACK AND KNOW
I DID YOU A FAVOR
SO HATE ME NOW.... THANK ME LATER...
FIVE YEARS LATER SHE CAME HOME, FROM OHIO STATE
HER DAD WAS BACK TO SMOKIN
DOCTORS SAID HIS HEALTH AIN'T GREAT
SHE FOUND HIM ON THE BACKSTEPS, LIGHTIN' UP AGAIN
SHE GRABBED THE PACK AND CRUSHED IT, TURNED TO HIM AND SAID
I WON'T LET YOU BREAK THAT PROMISE YOU MADE ME
CHORUS, THEN BRIDGE:
SHE SAID "IT AINT ALWAYS EASY , TO TELL SOMEONE THE TRUTH
BUT IF YOU LOVE THEM THEN YOU HAVE TO,
DAD, THAT'S WHAT I LEARNED FROM YOU...
CHORUS BREAKDOWN 1ST ½ THEN BIG, THEN VAMPS OUT...
