Let's escape fomr this moon covered bayou I can't breathe in this old stangnat rice field All along the stifled southern wept waterlands It's breeding wishes to see what the outside is I'm so tired of the legacy, the heritage There's no way I could ever fill my daddy's shoes Waking up inside a vacant town by no means Is an awakening to stir my restless soul It's a burning shame to mock hospitality You'll never feel the tears we really cry Is it my fault I wasn't born to royalty You'll never feel the tears we cry Everyday is another nail into the lid I can't stay here and hide like my family did Even though I cry to see their lives just watered down I'll be the first to step into another world
