Sometimes  i have a ghetto  in my mind
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
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
chorus:
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
chorus
