Plenty

Well I'm livin' with the mistakes I've made,

- ‘plenty more where I'm from',

I’m robbin' peter so Paul gets paid,

- 'plenty more where I'm from.'

I’ve strayed so far from the open road,

I've been places my shadow refused to go.

I went to school but they called me slow,

- ‘plenty more where I'm from',

They couldn't teach me what I needed to know,

- ‘plenty more where I'm from',

My heart still breaks & my throat it swells,

Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's.

A song of hope to lift my spirits if you please,

Or a tale of old rebellion if you dare,

I hope I live to see the day I laugh at days like these,

And walk the walk of one without a care.

I'll shift my share but I won't shift the blame,

- ‘plenty more where I'm from',

I respect my neighbour and expect the same,

- ‘plenty more where I'm from',

I’ve strayed so far from the open road,

I've been places my shadow refused to go.

I don't trust what I can't see,

- ‘plenty more where I'm from',

But I believe in something higher than me,

- ‘plenty more where I'm from',

My heart still breaks & my throat it swells,

Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's.
