I Want To Believe In Myself Once Again

So I Dream Of A Man Whose Hopes Never End

To Kiss With A Girl Who's As Lovely As You

I'd Give You My Heart, If You Gave Me The Truth



And For Every Tear That Is Lost From An Eye

I'd Dig Me A Well Where No Man Could Destroy

I Want To Believe In A Freedom That'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 Mouth's Not So Dry

I'll Dance Up A Storm, Sure Life's Looking Fine

But As Darkness Falls, I Return To My Bed

Don't Ask Me More Questions, Don't Fuck With My Head



I've Been Down In This World,

Down And Almost Broken

Like Thousands Of People,

Left Standing In Their Shoe

I'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 Ain't No Jobs In The Old Free State



So I Must Remain In My New Adopted Land

I'm Doing The Best, Hell I'm Doin' All I Can

So Next Time You See Me, Don't Ask For My Name

For I Am The King And Sure Long May I Reign



I've Been Down In This World,

Down And Almost Broken

Like Thousands Of People,

Left Standing In Their Shoe

I've Been Down In This World,

Down And Almost Broken

As Thousands They Grieve, As The Black Friday Rule



I've Been Down In This World,

Down And Almost Broken

Like Thousands Of People,

Left Standing In Their Shoe

I've Been Down In This World,

Down And Almost Broken

As Thousands They Grieve, As The Black Friday Rule
