sometimes i have a ghetto in my mind, other times sunshine high head fine

in between i get cold, old mean, intertwined with country pride open and

kind

this draws a line, sorry to coin a phrase

on either side is wisdom and rage, so keeping track of time, racing with my

age

sleeping with the snakes, forget that you showed up late, it ain't worth it

baby



chorus: a charmed life it is, at least they tell you so

i got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so

and if it is then let me go, let me go



any day there might be hell to pay, but in other ways it makes it seem ok

i'll tell you what i mean, it's not a plot nor a scheme, it's just peace in

my mind

again can i use the word kind, i ain't sorry about it baby



(Chorus)
