The New Life Out There

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was a boy The houses were dark And in the bad rooms Lived such frightened people They weren't conscious of me They didn't know who I was They didn't know what I thought So I packed up my unfinished things To find the new life out there [Verse 2] I put on a play I wrote me a book I bummed a ride Across eleven states And when I couldn't buy food I'd get me a job And buy me some food There wasn't anything I wouldn't do To find the new life out there [Verse 3] Now I'm still just a boy Ah, but hear what I am I made a movie With such groovy people They don't care what I do Just so I'd do it in style I saw the sun yesterday Hey, America, get off your tail And find the new life out there
