I found a few errors, but other than that, good job.

Baby, I'm afraid Oh, God, I'm afraid What will people say? What will they say? Well, some days I couldn't care less And others I'm scared half to death Don't wanna work so hard just to have a heart attack

Throw my hands in the air As if it really matters what they say Can I just be myself? Well, I won't forfeit my soul for a pretty penny Are you listening? Do I make myself clear?

We'll drive so far, from one town to the next We got something to say Is anybody listening? Does anybody care? Yeah, we got something to say Well, some days I could care less And others I couldn't care less Don't wanna drive so hard to get it off my chest

Throw my hands in the air As if it really matters what they say Can I just be myself? Well, I won't forfeit my soul for a pretty penny Are you listening? Do I make myself clear?

No, I won't play the fool for you No, I can't play the fool I've just got too much to say

Throw my hands in the air As if it really matters what they say Can I just be myself? Well, I won't forfeit my soul for a pretty penny Are you listening? Do I make myself clear?

I think this song is about the singer (Dan Young) trying to say that he doesnt care what people think and he doesnt want to care what people think and in this world it seems hard to be himself in a changing world.

You messed up, sir :( In the second verse he says "Well some days I couldn't care less and others I could use some rest", hehe! Otherwise good job!

I do agree that it's about him not caring what people think of him based on his faith, but maybe it goes a little deeper than that- meaning maybe he's talking about not sleeping with anyone until marriage. I don't know, it makes me think that when he says "I won't forfeit my soul for a pretty penny" Thoughts? :P
