I'm all choked up again With these two hands and the rage I'm in I think I just killed a man
I think it was my old man I hadn't seen him in years and now he's bleedin' tears And his head is in the palm of my hand
All choked up again Have you ever met a political man That couldn't break a pool boy's chin? And here it all is again
Went all in I got stuck in a jam That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man
Well, every day you seem to dig a little deeper Into nothin' that is left behind Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin' And the whole damn world's on fire
I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin' But my legs are broken and tied Everything around me starts spinnin' And I realize I'm buried alive
This ain't no place for kids But when you're raised in a bucket of rain You either die or you learn to swim You either die or you learn to swim
I just need to see my baby again She took my hand there from where it began Said she would love me with trouble I was in Said she would love me with trouble I was in
And every day I seem to dig a little deeper Into nothin' that is left behind Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin' And the whole damn world's on fire
I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin' But my legs are broken and tied And everything around me starts spinnin' And I realize I'm buried alive
I'm all choked up again With these two hands and the rage I'm in I think I just killed a man
