DOYLE BRAMHALL II
"Smokestack"
(Doyle Bramhall II / Susannah Melvoin)

I was born
Way down south
I left home
Early on
All I had
To show me the way
The sound of music
From the street every day

Too many people
Not enough shelter
The poor getting weaker
The rich getting stronger
I've seen everything
I needed to see
I got my mind made up
To give it all away

Workin' man
Way down south
Red headed woman back at the house
All that love
Couldn't hold back
'Cause bells were ringing
Sky turned black

Too many people
Not enough shelter
The poor getting weaker
The rich getting stronger
I've seen everything
I needed to see
I got my mind made up
To give it all away
Smokestack

Too many people
Not enough shelter
The poor getting weaker
The rich getting stronger
I've seen everything
I needed to see
I got my mind made up
To give it all away
Smokestack
