[00:22.87]I want to believe in myself once again
[00:26.21]So, I dream of a man whose hopes never end
[00:29.84]To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
[00:33.21]I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth
[00:36.71]And for every tear that is lost from an eye
[00:40.19]I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
[00:43.41]I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
[00:46.85]But all I remember is the freedom of old (hey)
[00:51.07]🎵
[00:59.25]Well, I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
[01:02.95]Flew all the way to California
[01:06.35]This mess in my head is a mess getting out
[01:09.68]Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
[01:13.13]But after a while, when my mouth ain't so dry
[01:16.52]I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
[01:20.03]But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
[01:23.38]Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head
[01:26.43]'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
[01:30.20]Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
[01:33.82]Down in this world, down and almost broken
[01:37.13]As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
[01:40.58]As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
[01:44.75]🎵
[01:56.58]As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
[02:00.06]As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
[02:03.48]🎵
[03:56.79]The buildings they shake, but my heart it beats still
[04:00.03]Oh, mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
[04:03.47]I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
[04:06.66]But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
[04:09.95]So, I must remain in my new adopted land
[04:13.34]I'm doing the best, hell I'm doin' all I can
[04:16.75]So, next time you see me, don't ask for my name
[04:21.52]🎵
[04:30.34]For I am the king and sure long may I reign
[04:33.90]'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
[04:37.76]Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
[04:41.27]Down in this world, down and almost broken
[04:44.41]As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
[04:47.68]I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
[04:51.15]Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
[04:54.81]Down in this world, down and almost broken
[04:58.04]As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
[05:01.42]As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
