Wake up
And get on down
Wired at sunrise
Ain't nothin' new
Gotta put myself back together
And see what I can do
Tryin' to abide
But life won't let me
Waitin' at the station
But I ain't running away
I'm headin' down to the heart of the city
Where the crooks and the hustlers play, yeah
Sometimes I don't know if I
Will ever make it back home
Mama take me back home
I'm just trying to abide
But life won't let me
I ain't trying to get my kicks for free
Just trying to survive
And do the right thing
But life just won't let me be
Yeah
It ain't right
It ain't right
It ain't right, it ain't right, it ain't right
I'm just trying to abide
But life won't let me
I ain't trying to get my kicks for free
Just trying to survive
And do the right thing
But life just won't let me be
It ain't right
It ain't right
It ain't right, it ain't right, it ain't right
Oh won't you please take me home
Mama
Free bird fly high
