Drowned My Life In Fear

Well I was just eighteen years old

I sat down on some stairs

I blew on some notes and gathered some votes

And my blues began to shake that city air

Drowned my life in fear

And take me through your years

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

Lord knows you can spare me your tears

Well I was just fresh out of school

I didn't abide your city rules

Stayed out late at night I did nothing alright

And man you know I went and blew it all

Drowned my life in fear

And take me through your years

And when I find I've got my piece of mind

Lord knows you can spare me your tears

Hey little woman

I said I hear you real good

Hey little woman

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

Ooh, yeah alright

I've had me some real good years

I've got to loosen my tears

I had me fight but it worked out alright

And those blues of mine began to disappear

I drowned my life in fear

And took me through my years

But when I find I've lost my piece of mind

Lord knows you can spare me your tears
