Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind And other times, sunshine, high head fine In between I get cold, old mean Intertwined with country pride, open and kind This draws a line, sorry to coin a phrase And on either side is wisdom and rage So keeping track of time, racing with my age Sleeping with the snakes, forget that you showed up late It ain't worth it baby A charmed life it is, at least they tell you so I got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so And if it is then let me go, let me go Any day there might be hell to pay But in other ways it makes it seem ok I'll tell you what I mean, it's not a plot nor a scheme It's just peace in my mind, again, can I use the word kind? I ain't sorry about it baby A charmed life it is, at least they tell you so I got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so And if it is then let me go, let me go, let me go
