Steady Lane Testo

He worked his hands to the bone
Always late comin' home
Tryin' to keep the damn show on the road that
That leads from the docks to the port
Momma's on a late shift
Came back in the morning mist now
Now I'm runnin' down Grafton street
Where my mother and my father meet

I feel the burden on my back The wheel of time is rollin' away
And I feel the pressure building up on me

My father told me, son, don't stay in the city
He worked so hard for things to change
I can't count the years I've been in this city
I'm tryin' to make it out of here

I wish that I could have known
One day they'd be gone
I feel my heart breaking
Standing on the docks when the ships come in
I'm in my childhood home
It feels bigger on my own
Times have changed, now I gotta run
I know it seems fast, but I gotta move on

My father told me, son, don't stay in the city
He worked so hard for things to change
I can't count the years I've been in this city I'm tryin' to make it out of here

Now my life's been turned around
Found a new lover and I'm on solid ground
I wish they could see me now
A new home on a different shore
I got my own boy and I'm loving to watch him grow
I tell him how

My father told me, son, don't stay in the city (Don't stay now)
He worked so hard for things to change
I can't count the years I've been in this city (Been in this city)
And now I found my way out of here

I can't find my way out of here
Oh, find my way
So many years out there
And now I found my way out of here
