From the recording When Life Comes Knockin'
Lyrics
There’s a stone cold floor on which I lie
And through a tiny window I can see the sky
There’s a lumpy bed on which I lay my bones
I don’t want to stay here
There’s an old tin plate on which I eat my bread
And through grey steel bars that are in my head
I can see a world where I’m free to be me
Oh how I want to be there
If I could only ever find the courage baby I just know
If I could only ever find the time I need by letting go and
If I only had a little more money, honey
Things would be just fine
It’s much easier to accept my fate
Than to work real hard till the hour is late
Let others run my life for me
I sure don’t want to do that
If I lock my dreams down deep inside
With buried desires and swallowed pride
I could live a life that’s safe but dull
I don’t want to be that
If I could only ever find the courage baby I just know
If I could only ever find the time I need by letting go and
If I only had a little more money, honey
Things would be just fine
Instrumental
Well the time moves fast and the clock ticks loud
And underneath this heavy cloud
The web of life wrapped oh so tight
I can’t seem to break it
Some days I think I’m almost there
Feeling brave with strength to spare
And though I try with all my might
I can’t seem to make it
If I could only ever find the courage baby I just know
If I could only ever find the time I need by letting go and
If I only had a little more money, honey
Things would be just fine
