Skin Deep (feat. Derek Trucks) [Main Version]

I've been around a while

I know wrong from right

Learned a long time ago, things ain't always black and white

Just like you can't judge a book by the cover

We all gotta be careful how we treat one another

Skin deep

Skin deep

Underneath we're all the same

Skin deep

Skin deep

Underneath we're all the same

We all are the same

A man in Louisiana, he never called me by my name

He said, "Boy do this and boy do that" but I never once complained

I knew he had a good heart but he just didn't understand

That I needed to be treated just like any other man

Skin deep

Skin deep

Underneath we're all the same (we're all, we're all)

Skin deep

Skin deep

Underneath we're all the same (we're all, we're all)

We all are the same

I sat my child down when he was old enough to know

I said out there in this big wide world you're gonna meet all kinda folks

I said son, it all comes down to just one simple rule

That you treat everybody just the way you want them to treat you, yeah

Skin deep

Skin deep

Underneath we're all the same (we're all-)

Skin deep

Skin deep

Underneath we're all the same

We all are the same

Skin deep (we're all)

Skin deep (we're all)

Underneath we're all the same (we're all)

Skin deep (we're all)

Skin deep

Underneath we're all the same

We all are the same, yeah
