Well I'm livin' with the mistakes I've made

Plenty more where I'm from
I’m robbin' peter so paul gets paid

Plenty more where I'm from
I’ve strayed so far from the open road
I've been places my shadow refused to go
I went to school but they called me slow

Plenty more where I'm from
They couldn't teach me what I needed to know

Plenty more where I'm from
My heart still breaks & my throat it swells
Like a dirty lump o' coal at the new year bell's

A song of hope to lift my spirits if you please
Or a tale of old rebellion if you dare
I hope I live to see the day I laugh at days like these
And walk the walk of one without a care

I'll shift my load but I won't shift the blame

Plenty more where I'm from

I respect my neighbour and expect the same

Plenty more where I'm from
I’ve strayed so far from the open road
I've been places my shadow refused to go
I don't trust what I can't see

Plenty more where I'm from
But I believe in something higher than me

Plenty more where I'm from
My heart still breaks & my throat it swells
Like a dirty lump o' coal at the new year bell's
