It knocked me down, it dragged me out, it left me there for dead. It took all the freedom I wanted and gave me something else instead. It blew my mind, it bled me dry, it hit me like a long goodbye, A

My uncle’s in the county jail His time is on his hands He knows he chose a barren cell Over a fair and fertile land He took another hit He hit another high He flew until he fell Just like he has a tho

I see the thunderheads rise In the northern sky And my heart is sinking In the threatening tide 'cause my portside's heavy with the worries of life and the worries of dying on the starboard side Well,
