Lyrics

Fill the suitcase up Did he stiff somebody? Will he testify? If you say you're sorry Grown men laugh when they heard that lie Ten to twelve gonna hang them high Wanted for life I'm wanted for life I ran outside, the buildings dropped Now he stole the crown, do the buggers never stop? Said - wait a minute pop Wait a minute pop Now upon this earth we stand on dirt We got tore down but I'm still standing up Every little drop (I'm thankful for) every little drop Torn and frayed, even though it's full of holes Getcha where ya wanna go Getcha where ya wanna go Even though you're smarter than me I'll write your autobiography I'm using all the words up I got my grammar in the five and dime I'm givin' all the words up And now I know the words are mine If ya close your eyes Do ya picture money? Did he change his mind? Will it keep you running? The blind men sing, the girl's gone wild The statute's clear and they emphasized Wanted for life I'm wanted for life So, swing that stick, throw that rock Inch by inch, going step by step Well - wait a minute pop Wait a minute pop Now upon this earth we stand on dirt We got torn down but I'm still standing up Filled with every little drop (I'm thankful for) every little drop Torn and frayed, my testimony's full of holes Get me where I wanna go Which-a-way ya wanna go Pardon me sir I don't live here no more But see that's the way it goes I'm moving on a gravel road Pardon me sir I don't live here no more Maybe that's the way it goes I guess that that's the way it goes Pardon me sir I don't live here no more I'm moving on a gravel road Maybe that's the way it goes
