The Privileged Life

(álbum: Fifty Miles To Chicago - 2008)

Twenty-four years ago today I was a baby born and
That's the day I started singing my song
It wasn't long before I felt the river water send a chill into my bones

They told me, they're washing me clean
This is the blood to keep me cool and serene
They told me, I gotta believe
And now today I swear to god
I'm gonna find out what they mean

'Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll
I got nobody no where to go but
Maybe it's just me I'm afraid of

Twenty-four years I've been a man I've done the best I can and
Now today I thought I'd write me a song
It took some time to find the man that I was trying to hide but
Now I can finally say I found my way home

They told me, they're washing me clean
This is the blood to keep me cool and serene
They told me, I gotta believe
And now today I swear to god
I'm gonna find out what they mean

'Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll
I got nobody no where to go but
Maybe it's just me I'm afraid of

Oh, take me away, mama
Take me away
Take me away, where I gotta go, I gotta go!
