lyrics

NO MAN A SLAVE
Bobby got back from jail
Talking about eternity’s too long
Spent my time in hell
They can’t mess with me no more, no more

Pop said son you got to lay it down
Want to keep the peace somewhat
“How I’m going to keep the peace
When the war is all I got?”

What evil tried to do me
You don’t want to know
Yet I’d rather run away
Another mile and they're mine today
Another sign that I’ll have to be
Moving on
No man a slave

Saw Cuz out at the mill
Saying how we used to be so close
You've forgotten all of your friends
They're going to remember all of your faults.

They all said son you got to lay it down
Want to keep the peace somewhat
“How I’m going to keep the peace
When the war is all I got?”

What evil tried to do me
You don’t want to know
Yet I’d rather run away
Another mile and they're mine today
Another sign that I’ll have to leave
And be going
No man a slave

I go where I want
And leave it the same
Slow as a crawl
Or speed like a train
A stranger of one
In a town without a name
But slave here to none, none, none

I stumble and fall
Sometimes afraid
Outside it all
Within it the same
I might have to run
I might have to beg
But I'm slave here to none
Ain't no man a slave
