lyrics

When I took I-90 west I had nothing to confess, nothing but the blues blues blues blues..
And now I'm in the city, living it ain't easy, nothing but the blues blues blues blues blues
Said I got freedom on my mind, freedom from the chains of minimum wage.
Someday, I'm gonna live up on a hill, and kick it with my kids down by the pool.

Cause I'm
wasting all my time,
workin for a nickel and a dime
Music's my remedy, and I'll sing it yes I'll sing it till my soul she's free..

on and on and on.. trying to get it together

Sombody said they seen me on the street, but my hair was turned to my feet.
Well it's just been one thing after another, I can't seem to grow no roots in this town.
I got freedom on my mind, freedom from the chains of playin the game.
Someday, I'll make a lot more money than all the bosses that I had.

Cause I'm
wasting all my time,
workin for a nickel and a dime
Music's my remedy, and I'll sing it yes I'll sing it till my soul she's free..

Never need to go to church she is my lord in a power chord.
Never need to drink no wine she fills my day with sweet sunshine.
She makes me feel alright,
Day and night,
She is my pride and joy..
till my soul she's free..
