Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's anger and hatred all around me Please keep my young one's close to you The whole of my life has gotten up with me No time to start my life anew [Verse 2] Judgment now stands before this man The phoenix rises from the flame And if there's a life ever after I won't tell nobody my old name [Chorus] There's gotta be a way There's gotta be a way There's gotta be a way out of this town I'm running short of breath I'm moving closer now to death There's gotta be a way out of this town [Verse 3] Thought they caught me in the act But all they saw was some man's back And that man didn't have the face of me I was with my loving wife When he gunned that Marshall down And committed daylight robbery [Verse 4] There's anger and hatred all around me Please keep my young one's close to you The whole of my life has just flashed before my eyes I'm running out of things that I can do [Chorus] There's gotta be a way There's gotta be a way There's gotta be a way out of this town I'm running short of breath I'm moving closer now to death There's gotta be a way out of this town
