Ride The Shadows (2006)   Keep a Man Down I go rolling when the light’s dim And I’m dancing with the cruel insights of my life When they swing me ’round the wrong way And they shake my confidence I don’t think twice Wrap my hand around a bottle, Push that throttle just a touch across the line As I roll on through night A heaven-sent few moments come to make me smile But I know reverie is never free When it comes by some liquid device Still my hands reach for the windows Let the music and my skin caress the sky You keep a man down that long, he’s gonna blow, he’s gonna blow sometime Living in this world sure takes its toll Because that woman sang that awful song She’d say “Where the hell, oh where the hell are you going?” I say “You don’t need to know, baby, You just need to know that I think you’re worthy of knowing. And if I leave you in the dark, It’s so the distance we’re apart will keep on growing I said you keep a man down that long, He’s gonna blow, he’s gonna blow sometime Living in this world sure takes its toll Well my mother says I still have time, I could make things right again But I don’t think things ever work that way I think even God don’t make things right He knows that in the end We’d just come along and make ’em wrong Anyway Now I’ve got no side to be off or on No rights to be proffered, sold or stolen I got no one to be answered to, No harsh or tender words that need to be spoken Just these four wheels spinning round On some fresh and fertile ground that I have broken ’Cause I said you keep a man down that long, he’s gonna blow, he’s gonna blow sometime Living in this world sure takes its toll Living in this world takes its toll Living in this world takes its toll
