Back in the states It's more fun You ain't free when Your life's so undone When your freedom relies On how well you can hide On how fast you can run I just got tired I got old enough to see How much like a prison Temporary freedom can be
When you got no plans And you got no dreams You can watch your life Runnin' out on you In a dirty stream And you got no use And you got no voice You can't live on Peace of mind Like you thought you could If you made your choice
(Instrumental with great keyboard work)
My heart is strong I was so sure of myself I had a feelin' I could Take hard times As well as anyone else But I lost your picture And I lost a dear Old friend of mine People take more chances When they're livin' On borrowed time
When you got no plans And you got no dreams You can watch your life Runnin' out on you In a dirty stream When you got no use When you got no voice And you can't live on Peace of mind Like you thought you could When you made your choice
