Lyrics

[Intro]
[percussive acoustic guitar strumming]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals enter]
Hey, hey
You walk the same old streets
You feel the summer heat
You feel a little hand below your knees
Reaching up to say hello
[Chorus]
[electric guitar enters, full band energy]
And you know that it increases
And you know that it ain't over yet
You scream out but there's no one there to tell
I'm so sorry before it happens again
[Verse 2]
[acoustic guitar continues, drums drop to light kick]
Hey, hey
The walls are closing in
You better learn to swim or roll out with the tide
Your best friend out of polyester scenes
Pressed you to decide
[Chorus]
[full band, driving rhythm]
And it's not just what you hoped for
Running races you can scream for
And it's not just where you wanted you to be
One of these things you'll feel free
One of these things you'll feel free
One of these things you'll feel free
One of these things you'll feel free
One of these things you'll feel free
[Bridge]
[dynamic shift, vocals become more urgent]
I was out there on a horse made out of gold
Sucker really ran, tell you man
Cut around where every truck you ever known
[Verse 3]
[acoustic guitar strumming]
Tell me how much is worth the best
I'm sure that I can pass your test
Only man where I can't even find my way home
Oh, oh
[Outro]
[electric guitar lead lines]
Oh, it got so terrible inside
Where about the world and where I'd go
Everyone goes so
But I'm inside of some playdown
And you tell yourself it's easier this time
Better find yourself a happy peace of mind
Take a piece of yours and mine and peace of mind I'll find
Life of all these days I'll find
It works out the way I'll find
Somebody today I'm alright
Oh, oh
[acoustic guitar fades out]
