Southern change gonna come at last! Now your crosses are burning fast, Southern Man.
Learning from other people is what music is all about.
Did He give me the gift of love to say who I could choose? When God made me did He give me the gift of voice so some could silence me? Did he give me the gift of vision not knowing what I might see? Did he give me the gift of compassion to help my fellow man?
Sailing heart-ships through broken harbors out on the waves of the night, still the searcher must ride the dark horse racing alone in his fright.
Was he a doper or was he just a loser?
I always try to get behind the guy steering the ship. That's the kind of guy I am.
I don't know if I'll find the cinnamon girl. I think I already did, but I'm still singing, who knows.
