Intro

4x

Vers:

Twenty-four years ago today I was a baby born and

That s the day I started singing my song

It wasn t long before I felt the river water send a chill into my bones

Pre-chorus

 They told me, they re washin me clean

this is the blood to keep me cool and serene

 They told me, I gotta believe

And now today I swear to god

 I m gonna find out what they mean

Chorus

  Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll

 I got nobody no where to go but

Maybe it s just me I m afraid of

2x

Vers:

Twenty-four years I’ve been a man I ve done the best I can and

Now today I thought i d write me a song

It took some time to find the man that I was trying to hide but

Now I can finally say I found my way home

Pre-chorus

 They told me, they re washin me clean

this is the blood to keep me cool and serene

 They told me, I gotta believe

And now today I swear to god

 I m gonna find out what they mean

Chorus

  Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll

 I got nobody no where to go but

Maybe it s just me

Bridge

Oh, Yeah, Take me away mama

Take me away, Take me away

where I gotta go

Pre-chorus

 They told me, they re washin me clean

this is the blood to keep me cool and serene

 They told me, I gotta believe

And now today I swear to god

 I m gonna find out what they mean

Chorus

  Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll

 I got nobody no where to go but

I felt the wounds and stiches all under my skin

I ve got nobody else

Maybe it's just me

Maybe it's just me

Maybe it's just me I m afraid of
