Well I’m ragged and I’m blue and I'm coming to with the symptoms of the city
These big dreams of mine don’t pay many dues when you get down to the nitty gritty
I left my hometown to do some getting around and find me a place to be
Found a little more than I bargained for on the fringes of insanity
Taking my faith in the fact that I will arrive
Praying for one good way to survive, Lord give me one good way to survive


Going against the grain in the pouring rain with a vision as pure as sunshine
Waited too many years no to break these chains that have kept me from what is mine
Defied the doctors orders went across the border with my conscience asleep at the wheel
Landed in jail with time for my bail and ain’t nobody makeing deals I put myself on as long as I could
One day I was delivered out of the woods, let the lightning flash straight out of the woods


Chorus:
Why oh why must I feel this way
You know I’m not destined to fade away
I’m hard to find, Lord, I’m easy to lose
I thank the good lord way up above
For the sun and the children and the music and the love
You know the road goes on just as long as you choose
I said good morning world, get ready for me


Trying to make sense but its way too intense I’ll be damned if I can figure it out
They say it all comes out in the rinse I least that’s what I heard ‘em talking about
I'm leaning towards leaving if I just break even find my way back home
Taking it back to that old country shack where all my creation grows
I’m living to search and searching to live
Standing in the pouring for my chance to give yeah it’s raining down here where we give


Chorus
