[Verse 1]
They named me Saul
Like my old man’s middle name
Hand-me-down jacket
Hand-me-down shame
I sit in the back pew
Tracing cracks in the floor
Wonder if there's more to me
Than the stories they told before
[Chorus]
But I wanna be just like Paul
Knocked down
Turned around
Answering a different call
From stubborn and scared
To standing up tall
Yeah my name is Saul
But I wanna be just like Paul
[Verse 2]
Got a temper like summer
Comes quick
Leaves scars
Say things in a minute
I regret for years in the dark
I read those red letters
On a creased
Faded page
Pray for a new road
On the same old highway
[Chorus]
‘Cause I wanna be just like Paul
Knocked down
Turned around
Answering a different call
From stubborn and scared
To standing up tall
Yeah my name is Saul
But I wanna be just like Paul
[Bridge]
Maybe I don’t change in a second
Maybe I just change today
Little by little
I’m letting
All of my pride fall away
If you see me stumble
Remember
It’s a long
Dusty road after all
I’ll still be Saul on the paper
But I’m learning the heart of Paul
[Chorus]
And I’m gonna be just like Paul
Knocked down
Turned around
Answering a different call
From stubborn and scared
To standing up tall
Yeah my name is Saul
But I’m walking the way of Paul
