Lyrics
Well that summer sun was crying
When I left Carolina
But I'd had enough of this hand me down life
Like a freight car pinned in the middle of a train
Stuck so long just waiting on a change
Well I never forgot
What my daddy told me
Said I waited too long son I'll never break free
There's gotta be more boy to being alive
Than minimum wage everyday til you die
I'm stepping out of the darkness
Finally coming into the light
Out of the alley
Up on my feet
Traded these blues for a view from the street
I'm gonna see
Life good as it can be
Only left is that guitar
And the gas in my car
Can see how far it'll take me
Wanna waste a few days
In some kinda haze
I'm gonna drink all the beer in Milwaukee
I'm stepping out of the darkness
Finally coming into the light
Out of the alley
Up on my feet
Traded these blues for a view from the street
I'm gonna see
Life good as it can be
Wanna go to bed in Maine
Wake up in California
Double cross Kansas in the middle of the night
Wanna do what the sun kissed girl in Tampa told me
Take it easy baby if its easy take it twice
I'm stepping out of the darkness
Finally coming into the light
Out of the alley
Up on my feet
Traded these blues for a view from the street
I'm gonna see
Life good as it can be
Gonna do what that sun kissed girl in Tampa told me
Take it easy baby if its easy take it twice
