I had it tough when I was a little kid It didn't matter what I It matter what I did I felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the It did a number on my It could touch my heart
I had just enough imagination Just enough to the faith That I would think of what to do When I'd get lost in a weakness of emotion All the came around to help me through
Life blows changes, wind blows past pages All I see is I need this High strung tightrope walk, time bomb clock Scratch my off, cut these chains
I'm free, kickin' out of prison, I am free Singin' words of wisdom, let it be Nobodys put the blues inside of me
And in the stress to be the best done it all I've slammed the doors, I've the locks I've laid the bricks, I've built the Nobone tell me back then why joy eluded me Kept into that misery up deep down inside of me
Took that rage and I, turned page and I Packed my tools, went to school, yeah And I my graduation, and I hold my Ph.d In crash test blues I paid those
I'm free, kickin' out of that prison, I am Singin' those of wisdom, let it be Nobody's put the blues inside of me, yeah
flies by in photographs And paper and songs I stand in ruby slippers Three taps me home
Yeah, I'm I'm
I'm free, out of that prison, I am free Singin' words of wisdom, let it be Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me, Ohh
I'm I'm I'm Yeah, I'm
flies by in photographs And scraps and songs Here I stand in slippers Three taps me home
Yeah, I'm Yeah, I'm I'm Ohh I'm
