Lyrics:

want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl whoÂ's as lovely as you
IÂ'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth

And for every tear that is lost from an eye
IÂ'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom thatÂ'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 California
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 mouthÂ's not so dry
IÂ'll dance up a storm, sure lifeÂ's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
DonÂ't ask me more questions, donÂ't fuck with my head

IÂ've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
IÂ've been down in this world, down and almost broken
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 ainÂ't no jobs in the old free state

So I must remain in my new adopted land
IÂ'm doing the best, Hell IÂ'm doinÂ' all I can
So next time you see me, donÂ't ask for my name
For I am the King and sure long may I reign

IÂ've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
IÂ've been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

IÂ've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
IÂ've been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
