When I was a younger man people say don't dream to tall 'cause if you live your life this way you set yourself up for big falls I stay up late in my room at night play my heroes on my turntable opened me to pure phat groove help my soul break down them walls
(chorus) I thank you I thank you for all the music that you've shown to me I thank you ' cause you set me free free to simply just be me
You don't know all the influence the subtle positives that you had on me came about like a renaissance like a little happy dance got into my feet but in your time the roads you chose led you to your hard luck blues I always feared what it was like to live inside your big old shoes (chorus)
