powerful man

davey broke the law again

heard this time he's going to the pen

guess i didn't need my lunch

cause i was going to miss him a whole bunch

maybe he was out of line

but he was still a pretty close friend of mine

maybe he had hurt me bad

but a brother is a brother and that is that

mom's in a mood this week

cause she thinks that her family is going crazy

guess it started with the baby

she went in for a hug then it bit her on the cheek

that was pretty funny to me

but i guess i should have more sympathy

i never raised a kid

but i bet i'd do a good job if i did

had a dream about a promised land

walkin' round with a big gun in my hand

and when i look you in the eye

you're gonna tell me that you love me and hold me tight

cause you know that i have no fear

ain't gonna walk into the river and disappear

i'm gonna be a powerful man

red blood running down the broken sand

i couldn't tell you

what it means to me
