On, on, on my way I'm on my way Go tell everyone under the sun That's what I've been told Since I was six years old Duck down and count to ten I'm gonna hit the Lotto I'm gonna place my bet on every step I take

It wasn't that hard Just to figure you out Now I did, you wonder why I like your pants around your feet And I like the dirt that's on your knees And I like the way you still say please, while you're looking up at me You're like my favorite damn disease

It must have been cold there in my shadow To never have sunlight on your face You were content to let me shine, that's your way You always walked a step behind So I was the one with all the glory While you were the one with all the strength. A beautiful

Just to see you smile I'd do anything That you wanted me to And all is said and done I'd never count the cost It's worth all that's lost You always had an eye for things that glittered But I was far from bein' made of gold I don't know how but I scraped

But why did it have to be me? It's only natural That's only natural I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care

You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh Like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh Of you (oh oh) So I'll just hold you like a hand

Just as it was, baby Before the otherness came And I knew its name But your love was unmoved There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved Never I'd had life enough My heart is screaming out And in a few days I would be there, love Ever here that's lived in me

That's why I Slipped out the back before you knew I was there You know me I used to get caught up in everyday life Trying to make it through my day so I could sleep at night Tried to figure out my way through the maze of rights and wrongs But like you

Makin' their way That's just a little bit more Than the law will allow Just the good ol' boys Never meanin' no harm Beats all you never saw Been in trouble with the law Since the day they was born Staightenin' the curves

Fly away far away He'd made up his mind Spread your wings and fly away Spread your little wings and fly away Pull yourself together 'Cause you know you should do better That's because you're a free man Sammy was low Just watching the show
