Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tried everything, set me free
But my chains keep playin' tricks on me
And all I need is a place to lay 'em down
[Verse 2]
My friends, they speak and the words ain't lies
Like clouds of fish, they fly
And all I need is a boat to take 'em home
[Verse 3]
And girls, I see
And they see me
Then we say goodbye
All I need is a bed to call my own
[Verse 4]
On my baby's eyes
See how they shine?
Will his life be like mine?
All I need is a way to take his load
[Verse 5]
Ah, but when good times come fallin' over me
Breath turns to melody
All I need gonna fall away like rain
