Dirt Free:

Dirt Free:

Who knew the freedom
enjoyed by the greatest
was constantly wracked with self doubt?
And I’ve been living in the back of my mind
with dreams of someday breaking out.
My pen’s in its sheath
my sword’s in the shop
my broom’s in splinters
my tongue’s in a knot
you’d think we’d be naked
once we got this hot
Julien once did it
twenty years’s what he got
Keep your head down and hand me a smoke.
For, the grease covered collars scrapin’ to live
Is the gold boy’s idea of a joke.

I had a son
but he done passed on.
The disease didn’t know we was poor.
Either you’re in the circle
dressin’ in fox,
or the hen house closes its door.
I went blind
but I traded for deaf
but I missed my music
so I gave my foot instead
but without a stride
how’s a man earn his bread
so I guess I’ll give in
and give’em my head
Please wipe these tears from my eyes.
For, the grease covered collars scrapin’ to live
ain’t afraid of the day he dies.
