Last Last Chance
Written by Timothy Langford
Well you’re in another pickle, down to your last nickel, and you want another handout again
But we’ve been there before, and it’ll happen some more, if I don’t tell you this is the end
That was your last last chance, that was your last last chance
That was your last last chance, tired of doin’ dat dance, and I ain’t gonna take it no more
Well I said it before, last time you walked out that door, but this time you pushed me to far
And I won’t care a bit, when you throw your next fit, cause this time I mean it for sure
That was your last last chance, that was your last last chance
That was your last last chance, tired of doin’ dat dance, and I ain’t gonna take it no more
Well you tell everybody, you’re so mistreated, and everyone is doing you wrong
Why don’t you take another look, at yourself in the mirror, you just might want to change your song
That was your last last chance, that was your last last chance
That was your last last chance, tired of doin’ dat dance, and I ain’t gonna take it no more
Well I said it before, last time you walked out the door, but this time you pushed me to far
And I won’t care a bit, when you throw your next fit, cause this time I mean it for sure
That was your last last chance, that was your last last chance
That was your last last chance, tired of doin’ dat dance, and I ain’t gonna take it no more
Repeat
That was your last last chance, that was your last last chance,

Devil's Hostage
Written by Timothy Langford
When I was a young man, god said I give this gift to you
But you must use it wisely, to this path you must stay true
The Devil will try to trick you, and try to make you slip
Looking for a shortcut, I made my first mistake
Chorus
I should have seen it coming, but I was just a fool
I sold my soul, my wife and family’s too
Now I’m the devils hostage, he wants ransom for my sins,
God please help me with the, the mess I’m in
Verse
I should have listened better, I know that I was warned
The good lord tried to tell me, to keep my heart from harm
But the devil he done fooled me, I was so easily deceived
I had sold my soul, and I fell down on my knees
Chorus
Solo
Verse
Then I heard a voice, whisper in my ear
All is not lost son, I know all the Devils Tricks
The key to your salvation, is right there in your heart
You must forgive yourself, that is where you start

Verse 1
Oh momma where did I go wrong

Down at rock bottom where I belong
Chorus
Reckless
I’m Reckless
Down at rock bottom where I belong
Verse 2
Another hard lesson on a jailhouse floor
Cut me loose, I went back for more

Red line, Stop sight, blue suede shoes
Cocaine freight train light my fuse
Chours
Verse 3
Oh papa I gotta thank you
For raisin me up on the rhythm and blues
If you told me once you told me twice
Sometimes you loose when you roll the dice
Kiss the sky on the big highway
Chorus

Platinum Junkie
Written By Zach Kasik, Michael Sherry
Lyrics By Zach Kasik
Verse 1:
Two young brothers run wild in the streets
Livin’ in LA dreams while momma’s losing sleep
When the cobra comes callin’ with the rhythm and booze
All American dreams become born to lose
Pale white hands on the razor blade
Through the smoke and mirrors the platinum junkie is made
Chorus
There’s a pusher taking life after life
down on the corner by the liquor store
Like a rat, breeding disease
Bleeding out on the ghetto floor
The first time you did it, it was just for fun
But the second time it didn’t feel quite as strong
So you loaded up your pistol for one more fix
Playing Russian roulette but you load all six
Verse 2:
The preacher finds the pusher with a war to wage
As the two young brothers take the stage
One grips the mic and one bends the strings
While they close their eyes and replay the scenes
As the spotlight shines on the Viper Room stage
Through the smoke and mirrors the platinum junkie is made
Chorus
Now a wildfire burns in those hungry eyes
From the passionate thrill of a brand new high
It’s ecstasy and the touch of skin
Just a poison kiss on the lips of sin
Reality and stage lines fade
Through the smoke and mirrors the platinum junkie is made
Chorus
Verse 3:
Gold and platinum records line the wall
As the oldest brother walks down the hall
Preacher nails at the foot of the bed
Mama cries and daddy hangs his head
Their broken hearts are filled with rage
As they cling to the hand of son they raised
As God and the devil stand face to face
Through the smoke and mirrors the platinum junkie’s erased
Snake Eyes
Written By Zach Kasik, Jack Rusch
Lyrics By Zach Kasik
Verse1
You played the hand
I thought you’d never play
Now you wear the brand
Of the words I thought you’d never say
All the lies I find before me
Burn me up with rage
As line by line I read my story
With no mention of my name
So damn the trust I gave to you
And damn that fault of mine
Misuse of my trust sure as hell ain’t no fault of mine
Chorus:
I’ve been tempted by your money
And tempted by your wine
Tempted with your women
This time I believe I’ll walk away with my pride
Verse 2:
Well I rolled the dice
And I paid the price
Cuz everybody knows
Snake eyes never lie
So damn the trust that I gave to you
You know it happens every time
Misuse of my trust sure as hell ain’t no fault of mine
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
Vamp:
And damn the lies
Damn the lies
Tempted by your money
And tempted with your wine
Tempted with your women
Think About That
Written By Timothy Langford
How we supposed keep our cool when everything is so crazy
Wake up in the morning just to eat another spoonful of dirt
Everyday it’s like the Truman show, people don’t know what to believe anymore
Speaking my mind, for what it’s worth
Chorus
Preaching to the haters to keep it segregated
Doing your best to keep us separated
Somebody please, can you tell me, what you think about that
Acting like a bully because you think your so high class
Got all your gangsta friends, watching your back
Taking all you can while you got the power, staring down from your ivory tower
Makin it up as you go and that’s a natural fact
Chorus
Drain the swamp, but it keeps getting bigger
The smell surrounds, and we’re all getting sicker
All the lies you believe them yourself, I’m telling you man it’s all going to hell
Brown noser’s slapping your back, while your talking your smack
Chorus
What you think about that
What you think about that
Half A World Away
Written By Timothy Langford
Here I am stuck in this lonely motel room
Thinking bout, all the things I’d say to you
I wanna pick up the phone, and call you but you’d be sleeping now
And I’d hold you in my arms but your half a world away
Don’t want to seem like a lovesick fool but I am right now
There’s a look in your eye that washes all my troubles away
You’re the kind of woman that lights up the room with just one smile
And I‘d hold you in my arms but your half a world away
Bridge:
Some say love at first sight is just a fantasy
But the first time I saw you I know it was true
Somehow someway I was gonna make you mine
And I can feel you in my heart but right now I’m so blue
I think about all the good times and I have to smile
And we’re gonna have a whole lot more if can have my way
We made it through a million miles of life’s disarray
And I’d kiss your sweet lips but your half a world away

One Step at a Time
Written by Timothy Langford
When this mean ol’ world starts bringing you down
And you’re climbing that mountain one step at a time
Believe in yourself never give up
Keep on marching until you make it to the top
Life is a balance of pleasure and pain
Love and loss and wisdom gained
Keep on doing the best that you can
It don’t matter if you’re a woman or a man
Everybody’s bound get the blues sometimes
We’ll climb that mountain one step at a time
Well I’m feeling down and I wanna to give up
The mountain I’m climbing seems to have no top
I’m givin’ all I got but it’s never enough
My back’s to the wall and I’m still out of luck
Life is a balance of pleasure and pain
Love and loss and wisdom gained
Keep on doing the best that you can
It don’t matter if you’re a woman or a man
Everybody’s bound get the blues sometimes
We’ll climb that mountain one step at a time
But this mean ol’ world ain’t gonna bring me down
And I climbed that mountain one step at a time
I believed in my self and I never gave up
You can’t knock me down I made it to the top
Life is a balance of pleasure and pain
Love and loss and wisdom gained
Keep on doing the best that you can
It don’t matter if you’re a woman or a man
Everybody’s bound get the blues sometimes
We’ll climb that mountain one step at a time
Trouble
Written by Timothy Langford
Trouble, trouble is my shadow, worries tailing me
Go away trouble leave me alone
Don’t come knockin on my door
I’ve paid my dues, you got no debts with me
No debts with me
When good luck, good luck comes my way
The dirty ol’ devil tries to steal it all away
You can’t steal my luck you see
Better times gonna rain down on me
A fortune teller told me but it sure been a long time coming
Been a long time coming
Trouble, trouble is my shadow, worries tailing me
Go away trouble leave me alone
Don’t come knockin’ on my door
I’ve paid my dues, you got no debts with me
No debts with me
Stories To Tell
Written by Timothy Langford
I’m giving up, trying to talk to you
When I start talking you just drift away
Is it me, is it you, is this just what people do now
I wanna know, I wanna know
I got stories to tell, stories that would blow your mind
I got stories to tell, if you’d just take the time, just take the time
To listen to me, listen to me
I talk, then you talk
When I start talking you just run at the mouth
Is it you, is it me, is it just our society
I want to know, I want to know
Repeat Chorus
Deal me in ,but don’t you count me out
I got stories to tell till the lights go out
Is it me, is it you, is this just what people do now
I wanna know, I wanna know
Repeat Chorus
Broken White Line
Written by Zach Kasik
One hit for pleasure, two hits for pain
I load the pistol, spin the wheel and let it ring
And I dive deep, to the bottom of a wishing well, wish me well
Momma warned me about a broken white line
But I cleared the bible from the table and dropped the dime
As I dive deep, and I don’t tell
Chorus:
And it’s straight to the bottom
That’s no lie, every dream dies
At the end, of a broken white line
It’s written in pages, that I’ve read
Them echoes ringing, all through my head
As I dive deep, and I don’t tell
With every wrong turn and every lie told
Everyone knows I won’t grow old
As I dive deep and I don’t tell
Repeat Chorus:
Solo
Repeat Chorus:
One hit for pleasure, two hits for pain
I load the pistol, spin the wheel and let it ring
As I dive deep, and I don’t tell
Repeat Chorus:
A Little More True
Written By Zach Kasik
There’s a long stretch of highway
Calling my name as I roll on
There’s a fire inside me
Burning brighter as I roll on
There’s a piece of heaven waiting
Waiting for me as I roll on
My faith will guide me through the wicked wind and I’ll roll on
Let me tell you that I know
That I’m going to pay
Oh Lord for every heart I break
Like a rolling stone Momma
I’ll be coming back for you
A little more the wiser
And a little more true
As the tables turned, the bridges burned and I rolled on
And time and time again I fell for a line of sin but I rolled on
My darkest night turned to light as I rolled on
And I took the hand of a righteous man and I held on
What You Said
Written by Timothy Langford
Well I know you didn’t mean what you said
But I can’t get it out of my head
I know, you didn’t mean what you said
You didn’t throw sticks and stones
But the words have a pain of their own
Like a bullet, like a bullet hitting the bone
Too much on your plate
Might have been my mistake, I don’t know
I know that your heart aches
The pain turns into rage, I know, you didn’t mean what you said
Well I wish that I could ease your mind
But I feel like I’m losing time
Like the last grains, of sand, slipping through an hourglass
I know you didn’t mean what you said
But I can’t get it out of my head
I know, you didn’t mean what you said
This really ain’t about us
Just a bunch of other people’s stuff, messing with our heads
It blows in like a storm
Dumps the rain and leaves you cold, like a hurricane
You didn’t throw sticks and stones
But the words have a pain of their own
Like a bullet, like a bullet, hitting the bone
I know you didn’t mean what you said
But I can’t get it out of my head
I know, you didn’t mean what you said,
I know, you didn’t mean what you said
I know, you didn’t mean what you said
I know, you didn’t mean what you said
Run Away
Written by Timothy Langford
Tired of left holding the bag while everybody has their way
Just wanna run away and start living again
We’ve given everything we got
But you keep sucking on that straw
You still haven’t noticed there’s nothing left to drink
We can run away, we don’t have to stay
We just walk away we can leave right now
We can run away, we don’t have to play
Your stupid game, we can leave this town right now
Ain’t gonna stay and watch you bottom out on your high horse
It’s not that we don’t care maybe we care too much
Time to make it on your own
So I guess we should leave you alone
Before we run out of time and or lose our minds
We can run away, we don’t have to stay
We just walk away we can leave right now
We can run away, we don’t have to play
Your stupid game, we can leave this town right now

Hard lines and

The time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
I can’t put it off for another day
I don’t care what other people say
They don’t think we listen anyway
The time is come today
The rules have changed today
I have no place to stay
I’m thinking about the subway
My love has flown away
My tears have come and gone
Oh my God I have to roam
I have no home
I have no home
Now the time has come
I have no place to run
I Might get burned up by the sun
But I’ve had my fun
I’ve been loved and put aside
I’ve been crushed by the tumbling tied
My soul has been psychedelicized
Evil Mind

Twisted Rails
Written by Timothy Langford and Jeff Fowlkes
Keep on trying to reel it in
Reelin’s something far from here
Self doubt don’t lose the trail
Ain’t gonna let life past me by
Miles of calculations
Trials and tribulations
But never giving up the fight
Chorus
Trying to ride these twisted rails
Holding on with love and faith
To dreams that I have yet to live
Chips of paint have seen it all
Twisted rails and morning fog
Making it work the best I can
Cellar music raging in the van
Miles of calculations
Trials and tribulations
But never giving up the fight
Repeat Chorus
This ain’t just a young man’s game
Years of wisdom running through my brain
Songs of life playing in my head
Might get lucky before I’m dead
Miles of calculations
Trials and tribulations
But never giving up the fight
Repeat Chorus 2 times

When I met the Gypsy she looked me in the eye
Come with me she said with a smile
My heart screamed she’s the one
My body froze and I knew I couldn’t run
I fell for the gypsy
She took my breath away
I fell for the gypsy
My life would change that day
I fell for the gypsy

A kind of beauty I’d never seen
Somehow I new she that she would rescue me

My life would change that day

Wash My Hands
Written by Timothy Langford
Well I used to be a sinner and I liked it
Yes I used to be a sinner and I liked it
Never wanted to hurt nobody
Didn’t worry about heaven or hell
I’d get my kicks and move along
So I washed my hands in the muddy Mississippi
But this life of sin don’t wash off easy
Doing my best to try and come clean
But that dirty old devil left a stain on me
Women and whiskey and bad cocaine
Women and whiskey and bad cocaine
Pity the fool who got in my way
I’d find a way to make them pay
More was always better I had to have it all
Blue Heart

And she tells me that she feels like her heart, is safe at last

She’s trusting me with her big blue heart
I feeling shaky, a little unsure
If I got what it takes to keep her heart secure
Because I’ve been a fool, I’ve been a fool before
But she believes me when I say I’ll never walk out that door
She’s trusting me with her big blue heart
She’s trusting me with her big blue heart
Well I know, why her heart is so blue
And she told me that’s the reason that I gave my heart to you
You know my heart is glass, and you know my past
And it’s good to know to know my blue heart of glass is safe at last
She’s trusting me with her big blue heart
She’s trusting me with her big blue heart
Minutes Seem Like Hours
Written by Timothy Langford
Everyday is the same and the nights seem so long
Thought I knew about lonesome but man I was so wrong
The sky is cryin’ since you went away
Minutes seem like hours, hours seem like days
Everywhere I look something reminds me of you
I can’t hold back the tears and I feel like a fool
I try to not to think about you but I can’t keep the thought of you away
This emptiness just follows me through the day
You’ve told when I’m gone that your heart bleeds like rain
Now the tables have been turned and I know I know your pain
Well my heart can’t stand this lonesome when your away
Minutes seem like hours, hours seem like days
Clouds fill my head I can’t even think
This misery and heartbreak could drive a sober man to drink
I feel like I’m dyin’ when your away
Minutes seem like hours hours seem like days
When Whiskey Was My Friend
Written by Timothy Langford
If I had some whiskey, I’d drink it all
No one to talk to except these dogs
I try to tell them about these blues
They staring at me like I’m a fool
Longing for my woman she’s gone so long
Longing for my woman she’s gone so long
It used to be so easy when whiskey was my friend
It used to be so easy when whiskey was my friend
She will come back I think she will
That’s what she told me maybe I’m waiting still
Feels like a prison inside these walls
If I had a bottle I’d drink it all
Longing for my woman she’s gone so long
Longing for my woman she’s gone so long
It used to be so easy when whiskey was my friend
It used to be so easy when whiskey was my friend
If I had some Whiskey, I’d drink it all
No one to talk to except these dogs
I try to tell them about these Blues
They staring at me like I’m a fool
Longing for my woman she’s gone so long
Longing for my woman she’s gone so long
Longing for my woman she’s gone so long
It used to be so easy when whiskey was my friend
It used to be so easy when whiskey was my friend
Good To See You Smile Again
Written by Timothy Langford
It’s been a dark road
For a whole lot of years
But your light keeps shining
Even through the tears
All I know is
It’s good to see you smiling again
Too many loses
For one person to bear
But you’re a fighter
And girl I knew you’d win
All I know is
It’s good to see you smile again
I hope you know
You’re not alone
Love surrounds you
Let it pour into your heart
You think your crazy
And I do too
But don’t you know
That weirdos rule the world
All I know is
It’s good to see you smile again
Make It Sound Happy
Written by Timothy Langford
I hate to tell you honey but there’s more bad news
The fox is in the henhouse and the cows are all loose
Seems like everyday things are just starting this way
And the doctor just called says he wants to get paid
Momma said I need a little cheering up
Play me that song that I like so much
But make it sound happy so I can lose these blues
Yeah make it sound happy and I’ll roll with you
Sometimes life just gets in the way
Why can’t the sun just shine everyday
Everybody needs someone they can lean on sometimes
Everyday I have thank the lord that I got you
Chorus
Solo
Well that old man Dickson, didn’t do what he said
And it looks like things are gonna come to a head
Both sides are lawyerin’ up best go get the shotgun out
Who needs a bunch of dumbass lawyer’s not me!
Repeat Chorus
If You Broke My Heart
Written by Timothy Langford
I got no words for this feeling
Is this the beginning or the end
This empty heart too much to bear
Nothing is the same when your not there
Why does love feel like pain
Nothing but obsession running through my brain
Don’t want feel I want to be numb
Couldn’t stand the pain if you broke my heart
When you fall, fall in love
Cupid shots an arrow through your heart
We carve the letters on a tree
Forever it will be just you and me
The knife cuts deep and the arrow is the pain
That’s what I feel when you are away
Don’t want to feel I want to be numb
Couldn’t stand the pain if you broke my heart
If I could live my fantasy
All your love would only be for me
We never stray and pinky swear
I know your passion rules when I’m not there
Cupid’s arrow is here to stay
Love is just pain when you’re away
Don’t want to feel I want to be numb
Couldn’t stand the pain if you broke my heart
New Years Blues
Written by Timothy Langford
Man come knockin’ on my door
Brother can you help me I’m hungry and I’m cold
I ask myself what should I do
What does this man really want from you
Fear and suspicion is what I feel
Why has this man come to me
My house is warm my belly is full
Inside my heart I know what to do
New Year coming I can’t turn away
From this stranger who has come my way
How can I be of service to you
He said friend I hate to bother you
Times are hard and I worked all day
For a few dollars for a one night stay
Got nothing left to get me some food
It hurts my pride to ask this from you
Haven’t worked myself for 44 days
I got some left from the money I saved
Let’s both start this New Year right
I thank you for the gift that you gave me tonight
Money’s just something that we spend
But a good friend we can keep till the end
Shape of Blues To Come
Soon as she said I'll love you forever
A chill went up my spine
I been thru forever before
Same thing happens everytime
Blue skies turn to a nasty downpour
Love gets dragged through the mud once more
I'm Over my head
My hearts pounding just like drum
I got a real bad feeling ' bout
The Shape of Blues to Come
Soon as she said prove that you love me
My mouth got dry
I've been down to the proving ground
Least about a hundred times
If the wind ain’t right A man can fall short
Find his self naked up in front of the court
I'm in too deep I know I'm gonna suffer some
I got a real bad feeling ' bout
The Shape of Blues to Come
She'll have me callin
Her name in the dark
That is a pretty safe bet
A love like hers bound to take its toll
haven't seen the worst of it yet
After my heart meets the guillotine
She'll mortgage my soul and slap on a lien
I' m too far gone
I know I'm gonna wake up numb
I got a real bad feeling ' bout
The Shape of Blues to Come
Preacher
The Preacher man come around, preacher come around
The Preacher man come around with a bottle in his hand
A bottle in his hand
Mr. Rudy won’t you help me won’t you help me please
Mr. Rudy won’t you help and I got down on my knees
I got down on my knees
The blues done signed my name blues done signed my name
Blues done signed my name and I’ll never be the same
I will never be the same
So I’m headed down Pactolis Highway outskirts of town
Headed down Pactolis highway where the womens can be found
Where the women’s can be found
Why do they call you preacher son do they call you son
Why do they call you preacher son because I arare one
Because I are one
So the preacher man come around preacher come around
The preacher man would come around with a bottle in his hand
Not a bible in his hand
A bottle in his hand
A bottle in his hand
Angels Are Back
Written by Timothy Langford
Angels are back angels are back
Angels are back, back at my door
Angels are whispering, they whisper in my ear
Time to come home they don’t need you round here
It will be all right don’t you be afraid
Love will surround you, they don’t need you round here
Your body is failing, failing you now
Your soul will live, don’t you worry now
Leave this world now, let it slip away
You’ll see them all again, let it slip
Stoned Again
Written by Timothy Langford
The devil drinks his whiskey and Jesus drinks his wine
One is a sinner the other is divine
Now tell me what’s the difference when both of them are getting high
Mom and dad are smoking and now the kids are too
If we make it a crime, then who’s hurting who
There’s money on the streets but the jailhouse wants some too
Is it really, a crime or a sin if you want to get stoned again
You mind your business I’ll mind mine, and Jesus and the Devil can fight about who’s wrong and who’s right
The devil drinks his whiskey and Jesus drinks his wine
One is a sinner the other is divine
Now tell me what’s the difference when both of them are getting high
Stoned again

Can't Dress It Up

Everybody's Got Something
Written by Timothy Langford
Everybody’s got something, everybody’s got a thing
We’re all a little different, a little bit the same
We all want love, we don’t need hate
Just a little bit of hope and a little bit of faith
We all like good times , cause we’ve all had it bad
We want to believe, people don’t lie
If I had my way, everybody would be happy
I could say from my heart , everything’s going to be alright
Chorus
Everybody’s got something somebody needs
Everybody’s got something that makes em’ feel free
Everybody’s got something they all got to have
Everybody’s got some thing to give
We all want to be sexy, we wanna be cool
Nobody, wants to play the fool
Some want money, and some want fame
Some just want, to stay in the game
We’ve all had friends, and enemies
We’ve all have dreams, nobody sees
If I had my way, everybody would be happy
I could say from my heart, everything’s going to be alright
Chorus

Work work work want to get workin’
Work work work want to get workin’
She Sees Ghosts
Written by Timothy Langford
She see things that nobody sees , stares into space, what could it be
She chases things that go bump in the night, every time we turn out the lights
She’s got a 6th sense I wish it was me, so I could see what is haunting me
Chorus:
She sees ghosts, my dog sees ghosts
You probably think it’s a joke, my dog sees ghosts
A restless soul with no place to go, my house is your home, but I wish you would go
If I could see you who would you be, are you a member of the family
Chorus:
Solo
Pop’s in the box do you think it’s him, maybe he just wants to jam with Slim
The dog knows but she won’t give it up, I sure wish that dog could talk
If I could see you who would you be are you a member of the family

Shiver
Written by Timothy Langford
Don’t want to think about some things I’ve done
Bones in the closet make me want to run
Can’t blame the Devil for all my sins
I sure wish I could forget some things
It could have been different , I had a choice
Want to blame somebody for all this noise
Word salad, brain gumbo, spodiodi heart
Bad decisions have left their scars
Chorus
Confessin’ don’t help, it’s with me forever
It haunts me still, I’m doomed to remember
It makes me shiver
Young minds don’t always think things through
Inside my head I got some lessons for you
My lights have dimmed so you may not see
All the demons that are still with me
Repeat 2
It could have been different , I had a choice
Wanna blame somebody for all this noise
Word salad, brain gumbo, spodiodi heart
Bad decisions have left their scars
Chorus
Mississippi Moon
Written by Timothy Langford
Well I had a dream and I woke up in a cold cold, sweat and I could see my life passing by me like a scene from a movie set
And my blood ran cold, and I just can’t forget, that dream and the cold cold feeling that it left me with
There was hellhounds runnin’, hot after my tail, on a moonlit night on the swamp with the snakes and the alligators.
Chorus
I hear the hellhounds howlin’ at the Mississippi moon, I never had such a feelin’ of doom, hear the hellhounds howlin’ at the Mississippi moon.
Well I dreamed I was runnin’, I stopped to catch my breath, and I could feel those demons behind me, breathin’ down my neck
Then I turned around, and a chill ran thru my spine, and the devil looked me straight in the eye and said I’m gonna get you yet.
Repeat chorus
Then I saw a light, and I felt real calm, and I could hear God tellin’ Satan you leave that boy alone
Because I got my own plan, and I need this Man, so get back from whence you came before I cut you down
That’s when I woke up and I felt so glad, that I had what I had and it was only a dream and I could live in a land where a man could be free.
