lyrics

Twenty years old
Out on my own
Tears on my cheeks
Spark in my eyes
Got my own place
Right downtown
Gonna bring lots of girls around

Give me a few years
I got a plan
Gonna make something happen then
Wait’ll I get my hands on you
Wait’ll I get my hands on you
Then I’ll know what to do

There’s a light out the window
And it’s bright, babe it’s bright
Got some money in my pocket
I’m alright
But then I wake up one morning
Clouds spitting rain
Last night is pounding
Deep in my brain
Sit up in bed and I get confused
Get the I didn’t know any better blues
I didn’t know any better blues

Thirty years old
Scraping along
Can’t say I made it yet
But I’m trying
Wait’ll I quit my job, oh man
Gonna make something happen then
Yeah you know I’ll have time then

Take a look out the window
And there’s not much to like
Got some money in the bank though
Guess I’m fine
But man I thought we were winning
Forces for good
Slow march to justice
Doing what we could
Now every time when I turn on the news
Get the I didn’t know any better blues
I didn’t know any better blues
