The Other Kind — текст песни (Steve Earle)

I woke up this morning and I took a look around at all that I got

These days Ive been lookin in the mirror and wondering if thats me lookin back or not

Im still the apple of my mamas eye

Im my daddys worst fears realized

Here of late all this real estate dont seem all that real to me sometimes



Im back out on that road again

Turn this beast into the wind

There are those that break and bend

Im the other kind, Im the other kind



Now my old buddy, whats his name, says, "man what the hell are you thinkin bout

Fool, you got two of everything, but you hang your head just like you was down and out"

And Im damn sure not suffering from a lack of love

Theres plenty more where that came from

Ah - but leave it up to me to say something wrong and hurt someone before Im done



You see it used to be I was really free

I didnt need no gasoline to run

Before you could say jack kerouac youd turn your back and Id be gone

Yeah nowadays I got me two good wheels and I seek refuge in aluminum and steel

Aw, it takes me out there for just a little while

And the years fall away with every mile
