I walk to this girl, I gave her a rose
And one word to keep her on her toes
She wants more, come knock on my door
Let’s see what’s inside
A great big kitchen you had been wishing for
You ask for freedom and every time you’re ignored
Ignored simply, like the sky ain’t always blue
Yet u still walk a mile and see what you can do
Past the signs, no ties to the road
Let’s really see how far we can go
I got a car, a guitar, and I’m a runaway from home
Singing every blues songs I’ve learned on the road
My lessons I’ll take with my bones to the grave
And rise again some far off day
My soul’s in the Earth shaking like a tree
I’m waiting for the sun to give some life to me
Because I lost the girl and everything she dreamed
Now I don’t know what life’s supposed to mean
(I don’t want) A great big kitchen you had been wishing for
You ask for freedom and every time you were ignored
I ignored you like the sky ain’t always blue
I walked a mile, but I walked there without you
I lost my sun and walked the through dark
Lost my way walking through the park, found some road
Those lights were bright, yet so cold
I shoulda known, I shoulda known better
