This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Scarecrows and devils are the only thing out this way
What that says about me, it's probably true
I've been carrying all these words around
For too long and now it's time to lay them down
I'm here for forgiveness I need it from you
The road was long and it took so much time
But I learned a lot from my mistakes
I made some wrong turns that I'm not proud of
They made me who I am today
I just got a little lost along the way
I won't blame you if you turn around and slam the door
I understand if you don't want to hear me again
I'm not here to fight, I came to you tonight
To say I'm sorry and to try to make it right
I'm only finding my way back from where I've been, don't know where I've been
The road was long and it took so much time
But I've learned a lot from my mistakes
I made some wrong turns that I'm not proud of
They made me who I am today
I just got a little lost along the way
The road was long and took so much time
But I learned a lot from my mistakes
I made some wrong turns that I'm not proud of
Made me who I am today
I just got a little lost
Just been a little lost
I just got a little lost along the way
Scarecrows and devils are the only thing out this way
What that says about me, it's probably true
What that says about me, it's probably true
I've been carrying all these words around
For too long and now it's time to lay them down
I'm here for forgiveness I need it from you
The road was long and it took so much time
But I learned a lot from my mistakes
I made some wrong turns that I'm not proud of
They made me who I am today
I just got a little lost along the way
I won't blame you if you turn around and slam the door
I understand if you don't want to hear me again
I'm not here to fight, I came to you tonight
To say I'm sorry and to try to make it right
I'm only finding my way back from where I've been, don't know where I've been
The road was long and it took so much time
But I've learned a lot from my mistakes
I made some wrong turns that I'm not proud of
They made me who I am today
I just got a little lost along the way
The road was long and took so much time
But I learned a lot from my mistakes
I made some wrong turns that I'm not proud of
Made me who I am today
I just got a little lost
Just been a little lost
I just got a little lost along the way
Scarecrows and devils are the only thing out this way
What that says about me, it's probably true

Just A Little Lovin'

Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
