lyrics

BLACK EYE TO THE SKY

Well, the fields stretch forever
And trees never bend
The promise of tomorrow’s another lie
That’ll never end.
If I can’t speak my mind, I won’t do what I’m told.
I try to laugh it off, but I was in a stranglehold

I can’t read or write though I’m 30 years old
But I’ve got words to sing that will lift me out of this hole.
Gonna put me up for barter and say I’m better off sold.
I try to hold my ground, but I was in a stranglehold.

Bridge: I’ve scraped bottom of my heart
Black eye to the sky – it’ll happen
If your home is in your heart
And your heart is in your home

If you push me down, it’s OK by me.
I’ve got places to go I know you’ll never be.
One song I sing will save my soul.
I’m gonna break free from this stranglehold.
