Drowned My Life in Fear (Remastered)

Well I was just eighteen years old

I sat down on some stairs

I blew on some notes and I gathered some votes

And my blues began to shake that city air

Drown my life in fear

And take me through your years

But when I find I've got my peace of mind

Lord knows you can spare me your tears, oh yeah

Well I was just fresh out of school

I didn't abide your city rules

Stayed out late at night, I did nothing all right

And, man you know I went and blew it all

Drowned my life in fear

Take me through your years

But when I find I've got my peace of mind

Lord knows you can spare me your tears, listen, woman, do

Hey, yeah, alright

Hey, little woman

I said, I hear you real good

Hey, little woman

I know that I'm feeling like a good man should, yeah

Oh, yeah

Hey, alright

Alright

Tell me why

I've had me some real good years

I've got to loosen my tears

I had me a fright, but it worked out all right

And those blues of mine began to disappear

I drowned my life in fear

You took me through my years

But when I find I've got my peace of mind

Lord knows you can spare me your tears, listen, baby, do

Whoa, yeah, all right
