Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'm a white man living in a white man's world Under our roof is a baby girl I thought this world could be hers one day But her mama knew better I'm a white man living in a white man's town Want to take a shot of cocaine and burn it down Mama wants to change that Nashville sound But they're never gonna let her There's no such thing as someone else's war Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for Still breathing, it's not too late We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate I'm a white man living on a white man's street I've got the bones of the red man under my feet The highway runs through their burial grounds Past the oceans of cotton I'm a white man looking in a black man's eyes Wishing I'd never been one of the guys Who pretended not to hear another white man's joke Oh, the times ain't forgotten There's no such thing as someone else's war Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for You're still breathing, it's not too late We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate I'm a white man living in a white man's nation I think the man upstairs must'a took a vacation I still have faith, but I don't know why Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
