Life In A Tin Can

All of a sudden I saw a new morning
I'm locked up I want to be free
Out in the courtyard and over the wall then
My friends are waiting for me

Sixteen people are waiting to get me
Hoping to take me outside
I hear the sound of the snubnose behind me
I went along for the ride

Wind in my face and my bones they are aching
My soul must weather the storm
I must run till my back it is breaking
Desp'ratly I must keep on

Sixteen people are waiting to get me
Hoping to take me outside
I hear the sound of the snubnose behind me
I went along for the ride

La...

All of a sudden I saw a new morning
I went along for the ride

All of a sudden I saw a new morning
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
All of a sudden I saw a new morning

I saw a new morning (repeat 3 more times )

I've played the game , still it's not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
I close my eyes
I'm on the shelf
I know myself

I've seen the lights of ev'ry city
Tried to work out where I am
I close my mind for the day
I know the way

I've played the game , still it's not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes
I'm on the shelf
I know my self

There's never ever anybody to rely on
There isn't time to count the shoulders I have cried on
That's just circumstances , I must take my chances
But, baby you don't know what I'm saying
But I guess that's not true
And you know that's true
But there's a method to my madness

I've played the game , still it's not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes for the day
I know the way

If your happy and marching forward in your band
Holding hands together, I will understand
In my life I'm together on my own
With my own private eggshell, and my phone

If your mind is in the darkness, could you know
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow
Will you show me someone who may treat me kind
Or is this world I live in just a frame of mind

If you're living in Chicago , it's your home
If you're living in Chicago , you're alone

If you're happy living down on the ground
Where the crippled and the blind alone can see
I got a feeling God is still around
And if I'm right , there must be more then this to see

If your mind is in the darkness , could you know
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow
Will you show me someone who may treat me kind
Or is this world I live in just a frame of mind

And as soon as you discover where you're goin'
Can I walk along the way , along the way
I'm lonesome and I need somebody knowin'
Just a few nice words to get me through the day

If your mind is in the darkness , could you know
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow
And will you show me someone who may treat me kind
Or is this world just a frame of mind

If you're living in Chicago, it's your home
If you're living in Chicago, you're alone

If you're living in Chicago, it's your home
If you're living in Chicago, you're alone

(break)

If you're living in Chicago , you're alone repeat 4 times and fade
If you're living in Chicago , it's your home/

I'm full of pride and my heart feels good
Got news from my fam'ly up in the woods
At last I can go back where I belong
Sweated it all out for nine long years
Couldn't believe the voice in my ears
When the man saying "No hiding ,son"

So I left the only folks I had known
I was fifteen then, hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn't get back and I couldn't go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a Ma and Pa
Ev'rybody said the kid's no good

Come home Johnny Bride come home
Johnny Bride come home
We're all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
It's his role we had you filling
We didn't really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad

I left the only folks I had known
I was fifteen then , hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn't get back and I couldn't go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a Ma and Pa
Ev'rybody said the kid's no good

Come Home Johnny Bride come home
Johnny Bride come home
We're all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
It's his role we had you filling
We didn't really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad

(repeat last verse and fade out about line 6)
