Lyrics:
them
Lord knows I'll turn a child to an orphan when I'm tourin'
I'm more than what I think of myself, I really have to be
Sit at home and drink by
and clear
You left your finger print, you ain't gotta be there
I'm just waiting 'till you dig a hole big enough to put your whole body in
Then I'm goin
and clear
You left your finger print, you ain't gotta be there
I'm just waiting 'till you dig a hole big enough to put your whole body in
Then I'm goin
sit and think
But I've got tired
Of this little girl's low down, dirty ways
Now an when I leave her this time
I swear I'm gonna away 'n stay
get me, get this now can you freestyle
Freestyle no styles free except da radio
But the radio controlled by the sucker move
Who moved away got away
People talkin', think I'm alright
Think I'm doin' fine
Goin' through the motioms of my life
Go to work now, every mornin'
Yeah, I play the part
I'm out on the street
All alone by the newsstand
The lady of leisure comes tearin' by
Almost knocking me down
She turns at the corner
tomorrow I'm goin' home and see my son
Now he was just a little boy when they took me away
And with his mother gone I left him for my mama to raise
Now he
You say you don't want it
Just watch and you'll flaunt it
You stare at the ceiling
And ignore what I'm feeling
Well that's fine' hey I
must think I'm really swell
'Cause every time I leave a town,
I get a fond farewell
Every time I fly away,
People cry, and they say,
"Bye bye,
goin my way
I'm goin my way
And I'm wide open
I'm miles from yesterday
The sky opened
And the clouds all rolled away
Like the ocean
I'm learning
Hey, baby, why you goin' that way
Oh, sugar, come on go it my way
And I'm goin' to a place where funky people play
Oh, honey, we'll sing sho'nuff
government for the people, by the people'
What people? We ain't equal
Discriminated against for race, religion, education
And you call this a nation?
I'm
"Mrs. Johnson
You're wearin' your dresses way too high
It's reported you've been drinking
And a-running round with men and goin' wild
And we don't
the North
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word
I said, where are we goin', he said we'd be back by the fourth
I said, that's the best news that I've
Goin' through my life, day by day
Wonderin' why and what road it'll take
Sometimes low and sometimes high
Tryin' find a reason to live by
Well
We've been over this a thousand times
Spinnin' our wheels instead of saying goodbye
Down by the water where we first kissed
Goin' under graffiti
And gettin' stalked by these crooked cops again
Fuckin' with the young black male, tryin' to stack mail
And um, stay away from the packed jails
I told
then?", I say "Read Erica Jong"
She goes away for a minute, and I slide out, out of my chair
I step outside back to the busy street, but nobody's goin
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're goin'
Leave the sinkin' ship behind
Come
found my love today
I found my love today
I found my love today
Don't know where I'm goin'
Don't know where I've been
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're goin'
Leave the sinkin' ship behind
Come
fly to get away
I hate I chose this life, but it's too late
Sometimes I wanna cry to clean my soul
I pray that I'm forgave for everything
Can you
I've been drinkin' a little too much
I've been accused of loosin' my touch
And if I'm going to be totally honest
I've been goin' crutch to crutch
