I want to believe
in myself once again
So I dream of a man
whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl
who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart
if you gave me the truth
And for every tear that
is lost from an eye
I'd dig me a well where
no man could destroy
I want to believe in a
Freedom that's 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 Californ-i-a
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 mouth's not so dry
I'll dance up a storm
sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls
I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions
don't **** with my head
Cuz I've been down in this world
down and almost broken
Like thousands of people
left standing in their shoes
I've been down in this world
down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve
as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve
as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve
as the Black Friday rule
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 ain't no jobs
in the old free state
So I must remain
in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best
Hell I'm doin' all I can
So next time you see me
don't ask for my name
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeaaaah
For I am the King
and sure long may I reign
I've been down in this world
down and almost broken
Like thousands of people
I'm standing in their shoes
I've been down in this world
down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve
as the Black Friday rule
I've been down in this world
down and almost broken
Like thousands of people
left standing in their shoes
I've been down in this world
down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve
as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve
as the Black Friday rule
