Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Damon A, born in Santa Fe
To a lovely girl, who knew nothing of the world
She said, baby boy, go for the fame, go for the fame
He said, I don't know, let me explain
[Verse 2]
All his life it was never right
Still he had his dream, made it work out in-between
Hearing, baby boy, go for the fame, go for the fame
But they shot him down
[Verse 3]
So my, I guess we gotta find a home
(Were we born to be)
So my, I guess we gotta find a home
(Were we born to be alone?)
[Verse 4]
Miami hated Tennessee
So she packed her bag
Halfway gone, she called her dad
He said, baby girl, if you want free, you won't see me
She said, okay, then just let me be
Got some work, called bosses, sir
But although she tried, something's sick inside
Hearing, baby girl, if you want free, you won't see me
And they shot her down
[Verse 5]
So my, I guess we gotta find a home
(Were we born to be)
So my, I guess we gotta find a home
(Were we born to be alone?)
[Verse 6]
No, sorry
Everybody wants their way
Everybody wants their way in the Promise Land
So sorry
Everybody has to wait
Everybody has to wait in the Promise Land
[Verse 7]
It's been a long time
I need to go
Maybe I'll hit the road
What I'm trying to find
I don't even know
Maybe I'll hit the road
