locked in a bird cage

on a border town

i'm all alone out here

got damn blues

there's a grown man

sweatin' methadone

of righteousness

with a broke leg

there's a racist man

in the whitehouse

up on the hill

get down the road from here and do not lose your way

got damn it blues

on a shoe string

with some chicken bone

i'm gettin' down the road

i'm gettin' down the road from here

i know by now i will not lose my way

my head's held high but i'm feelin' so low

shakin' all these got damn blues
