Old Country

water's white

the air is thin

the mood is envy it's in everything

the ground is cold

the tree is young

the blade is heavy

but you still swing

you still swing

i'm not going back to the old country

know if you don't want me

the past is yellow

the heart is blue

you tried to break me but i conquered you

conquered you

i was little

but i was great

you were the church that abused my faith

i never prayed

down on my knees

i face my judgment standing on my feet

on my feet

i'm not going back to the old country

no if you don't want me

the past is yellow

the heart is blue

you tried to break me but i conquered you

conquered you

and as i sail around the world

like a king with a silver ray

i'm a man from black gold

i was saved by a girl

that came in like the wind from the gulf of mexico

i'm

gonna

na na na

the future past

and so did fear

who i am now was never there
