Lyrics:

I'm going to give a little ground, going to get some extra sleep

I'm going to take a second helping, going to take a look-less leap

I'm going to turn the TV off and take a long vacation

I'm going to drive without a map across the whole entire nation

I'm going to waste a little time, going to trust a total stranger

I'm going to dance out in the rain, going to flirt a bit with danger

I'm going to set the record straight, going to cut to the chorus soon

I'm going bend a few more rules, but give myself a break

I'm going to have me one too many, I'm going to have a little faith in me

I'm going to walk instead of run, I'm going to pay the retail price

I'm going to laugh a little harder, I'm going to have a good cry

I'm going to take someone's word, I'm going to give someone a job

I'm going to un-tuck my shirt, and write a better song

I'm going to climb up off the sofa, climb up a different hill

I'm going to get down off my soapbox, going to take a test of will

I'm going to make a friend in Jesus, and watch my demons run like hell

I'm going to get down in the dirt, and clean up my act

Going to pass along a rumor, and that is that the fact is this

There's just one thing that I ain't going to do

There's just one thing I refuse

There's only one thing that you won't see me doing

I won't stop loving you

I'm going to dig a little deeper, going to fill another page

I'm going to tie up some old loose ends, going to dissipate some rage

I'm going to act a little foolish, going to fly too high too fast

I'm going to do some wishful thinking, take a long look at the past

I'm going to be better human, I'm going to widen up my smile

I'm going to look like nothin's doing as I tread the extra mile

I'm going to swim against the tide, and coast along the afternoon

I'm going to turn over the mic, 'cause I'm running out of words

And there's still a lot I don't know, but I'll tell you what I've learned is

true...

There's just one thing that I ain't going to do

There's just one thing I refuse

There's only one thing that you won't see me doing

I won't stop loving you
