i'm up in the world
but i'd give the world to be where i used to be
a heavenly nest
where i rest the best
means more than the world to me. it's only a shanty
in old shanty town
the roof is so slanty it touches the ground. but my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track
like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back. i'd give up a palace if i were a king. it's more than a palace
it's my everything. there's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
in a shanty in old shanty town.
