Mental Chains

Shaking these mental chains
Arose from the shadows of Tehachapi
And I know through all the pain
I'm still shaking these mental chains
Stop looking because you know where to find me
Past the train tracks, through the Joshua trees
Southern climb in the California summer prime
58 freeway, high desert heat time
Struggled a pathless way, turning back in vain
Believe what I became, you got to feel the roar I bring
Outraged that the wings of wrath
Were free to go and plant their seed
I was alone, but now I see
I chose the path that I need
The days of our youth still fresh in my mind
It's hard to forget old feelings revived
