I Hope, I Think, I Know

They're trying hard to put me in my place

And that is why I've gotta keep runnin'

The future is mine and it's no disgrace

'Cause in the end, the past means nothing

You tell me I'm free, then you tie me down

And from my chains, I think it's a pity

What did it cost you to wear my crown?

You don't like me, why don't you admit it?

I feel a little down today, and I ain't got much to say

But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there

You know I don't care, you know I don't care

As we beg and steal and borrow, life is hit-miss and this

I hope, I think, I know if I ever hear the names you call

And if I stumble, catch me when I fall, 'cause, baby, after all

You'll never forget my name

You'll never forget my name

You're tryin' hard to put me in my place

And that is why I've gotta keep runnin'

The future is mine and it's your disgrace

'Cause in the end, your life means nothing

Do you feel a little down today? Bet you ain't got much to say

Who's gonna miss you when you're not there?

You know we don't care, you know we don't care

'Cause as we beg and steal and borrow, life is hit-miss and this

I hope, I think, I know if I ever hear the names you call

And if I stumble, catch me when I fall, 'cause, baby, after all

You'll never forget my name

You'll never forget my name

As we beg and steal and borrow, life is hit-miss and this

I hope, I think, I know if I ever hear the names you call

And if I stumble, catch me when I fall, 'cause, baby, after all

You'll never forget my name

You'll never forget my name

You'll never forget my name

You'll never forget my name

You'll never forget my name
