Lyrics:

That summer sun was crying, when I left North Carolina
But I had enough of this hand-me-down life
Like a freight car pinned in the middle of a train
Stuck so long just waiting on a change
But I never forgot, what my daddy told us
He said I waited too long, son I'll never be free
There's gotta be more boy to being alive
The minimum wage every day till you die

Now I'm stepping out of the darkness
Finally coming into the light
Out of the alley, and up on my feet
Traded these blues for a views from the street
I'm gonna see
Life good as it can be

I'm gonna left this guitar, put the gas in my car
And see how far it'll take me
Wanna waste a few days, in some kind of haze
I'm gonna drink all the beer in Milwaukee

Now I'm stepping out of the darkness
Finally coming into the light
Out of the alley, and up on my feet
Traded these blues for a views from the street
I'm gonna see
Life good as it can be

Wanna go to bed in Maine, and wake up in California
And double cross Kansas in the middle of the night
Wanna do what that Sunkist girl in Tampa told me
Take it easy baby, If it's easy take it twice

Now I'm stepping out of the darkness
Finally coming into the light
Out of the alley, and up on my feet
Traded these blues for a views from the street
I'm gonna see
Life good as it can be

Gonna do what that Sunkist girl in Tampa told me
Take it easy baby, If it's easy take it twice
