My Own Eyes

 

Living on the outside

Thankful just to be alive

Never had much as I recall

Always had a gift

For noticing what’s right and wrong

Following my hearts desire

 

Chorus:

And one will stand while the other will fall

These things I’ve seen with my own eyes

 

Met a man in Tucson

Moving on down the track

Land of milk and honey takes its toll

Picking up some dust

Coughing up a lung or two

Hey buddy it’s just a job

 

Chorus

 

Bridge:

Down in the valley tonight

Shadows dance the fires burning bright

Don’t believe what’s written on the walls

 

I’m just one man

One man in this long line

Just another face in the crowd

Set out young

They weren’t going to put no chains on me

Try to make the most of his life

 

Chorus
