want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl whoÔÇÖs as lovely as you
IÔÇÖd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
IÔÇÖd dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom thatÔÇÖs bold
But all I remember is the freedom of old
Well I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
Flew all the way to California
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
But after a while, when my mouthÔÇÖs not so dry
IÔÇÖll dance up a storm, sure lifeÔÇÖs looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
DonÔÇÖt ask me more questions, donÔÇÖt fuck with my head
IÔÇÖve been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
IÔÇÖve been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still
Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
But there ainÔÇÖt no jobs in the old free state
So I must remain in my new adopted land
IÔÇÖm doing the best, Hell IÔÇÖm doinÔÇÖ all I can
So next time you see me, donÔÇÖt ask for my name
For I am the King and sure long may I reign
IÔÇÖve been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
IÔÇÖve been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
IÔÇÖve been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
IÔÇÖve been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
