Work On Me Lyrics - Restless Road

I know I don’t got my act together

But I know the kind of man I want to be

So I’m done with up all nights

Strangers eyes, neon lights

And dive bar therapy

Cause that don’t work on me

I’m a hilltop fixer-upper

J-45 with a few broke strings

I’m a blocked up ‘92

Could use a wrench turn and a coat of paint

This heart of mine it comes as is

Can’t make no guarantees

If that works for you, you got the tools

Do what you do, baby work on me

Trust me girl I’m one hell of a project

But I’ve still got some shine that you can’t see

I know that I ain’t no quick fix

But those blue eyes and that kiss

Might work on me

Yeah baby work on me

I’m a hilltop fixer-upper

J-45 with a few broke strings

I’m a blocked up ‘92

Could use a wrench turn and a coat of paint

This heart of mine it comes as is

Can’t make no guarantees

If that works for you, you got the tools

Do what you do, baby work on me

Baby work on me

I’ll do what I gotta do

And I’ll roll up my sleeves

Cause loving a girl like you

Makes me want to work on me

I’m a hilltop fixer-upper

J-45 with a few broke strings

I’m a blocked up ‘92

Could use a wrench turn and a coat of paint

This heart of mine it comes as is

Can’t make no guarantees

If that works for you, you got the tools

Do what you do, baby work on me

Yeah, baby work on me

baby work on me
