I had it tough when I was a little kid It didn't what I thought It matter what I did I felt the doubt for I lacked right from the start It did a on my head It never touch my heart
'Cause I had enough imagination Just enough to keep the That somehow I would of what to do When I'd get in a momentary weakness of emotion All the came around to help me through
Life blows fast changes, wind past pages All I see is I need this strung tightrope walk, ticking time bomb clock Scratch my name off, cut these
I'm free, kickin' out of that prison, I am Singin' those of wisdom, let it be gonna put the blues inside of me
And in the stress to be the best I've it all I've the doors, I've jammed the locks I've the bricks, I've built the walls Nobone could tell me back why joy eluded me Kept bumping into misery up deep down inside of me
Took that rage and I, that page and I Packed my tools, back to school, yeah And I passed my graduation, and I my Ph.d In crash blues I paid those dues
I'm free, kickin' out of prison, I am free Singin' those of wisdom, let it be Nobody's gonna put the inside of me, yeah
Time flies by in And scraps and songs I stand in ruby slippers Three takes me home
Yeah, I'm I'm
I'm free, kickin' out of prison, I am free Singin' those of wisdom, let it be Nobody's put the blues inside of me, Ohh yeah
I'm I'm I'm Yeah, I'm
Time by in photographs And paper and songs Here I stand in slippers taps takes me home
Yeah, I'm Yeah, I'm I'm Ohh I'm
