[00:09.700]Theodosia writes me a letter every day
[00:14.700]I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
[00:19.700]He's on the British side in Georgia
[00:22.700]He's trying to keep the colonies in line
[00:24.700]But he can keep all of Georgia
[00:26.700]Theodosia, she's mine
[00:29.700]Love doesn't discriminate
[00:31.700]Between the sinners
[00:31.700]And the saints
[00:32.700]It takes and it takes and it takes
[00:34.700]And we keep loving anyway
[00:36.700]We laugh and we cry
[00:37.700]And we break
[00:38.700]And we make our mistakes
[00:39.700]And if there's a reason I'm by her side
[00:42.700]When so many have tried
[00:44.700]Then I'm willing to wait for it
[00:46.700]I'm willing to wait for it...

[01:00.700]My mother was a genius
[01:02.700]My father commanded respect
[01:05.700]When they died they left no instructions
[01:07.700]Just a legacy to protect
[01:10.700]Death doesn’t discriminate
[01:11.700]Between the sinners and the saints

[01:18.700]And we break
[01:18.700]And we make our mistakes
[01:20.700]And if there’s a reason I’m still alive
