Artie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walking over the same old grass
Trying to stay on the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize
Artie, take a look at me
may not wanna think about all the little things
That piss you off about me
Hey there man
I didn't trash your can
But I'll apologize for all the little things
That piss you off about me
Walking over the same ole ground
Thinking bout all the things we found
I don't wanna let it bring me down
I'm up and out of this dirty town
Artie, take a look at me
Might not wanna think about all the little things
That piss you off about me
Walking over the same ole grass
Trying to stay off the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize
Walking over the same ole ground
Thinking bout all the things we found
I ain't gonna let it bring me down
I'm up and out of this dirty town
