You're looking good
Living like you should
The all american dream
You talk the walk
But do you walk the talk
It's getting frayed around the seams
Oh you're in control
Got your hand on the wheel
Made all the plans
Still you don't understand
The touch of madness that you feel
Everything you do sure does matter
Oh there is no little sin
Everything would be a whole lot better
If you gave it all up to Him
(Chorus)
Nailed down
Get it nailed down
Stop the turn of the merry-go-round
And get it laid down
Don't you know that;s where freedom can be found
Nailed down
Hard to believe
Those little things
Put such a weight upon your heart
You've seen them all before
They're coming back for more
Hammer them down before they start
Everything you do sure does matter
That's why He suffered all the pain
He wants to make your life a whole lot better
That the reason He came
(Chorus)
Living like you should
The all american dream
You talk the walk
But do you walk the talk
It's getting frayed around the seams
Oh you're in control
Got your hand on the wheel
Made all the plans
Still you don't understand
The touch of madness that you feel
Everything you do sure does matter
Oh there is no little sin
Everything would be a whole lot better
If you gave it all up to Him
(Chorus)
Nailed down
Get it nailed down
Stop the turn of the merry-go-round
And get it laid down
Don't you know that;s where freedom can be found
Nailed down
Hard to believe
Those little things
Put such a weight upon your heart
You've seen them all before
They're coming back for more
Hammer them down before they start
Everything you do sure does matter
That's why He suffered all the pain
He wants to make your life a whole lot better
That the reason He came
(Chorus)
