I’ve Been Down a Mighty Long Time

I’ve been down a mighty long time, a mighty long time been down
I’ve been down a mighty long time, mighty long time been down
I’ve been down a mighty long time, a mighty long time been down
I’ve been down a mighty long time, mighty long time been down

Mud and glass flows through my veins, it tears me up inside
Lying on the floor in the middle of the night, lying there I cry
Lying there I cry
Lying there I cry

Oh Lord when I break free I’m gonna walk against the sky
I will quit this foolishness and come in from outside
Come in from outside
Come in from outside

Everyone and everything is down on me I’m scared
Am I really all that bad? Does anybody care?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody care?

When I die I hope that I have rectified my sin
I really want to see the light but trouble’s what I’m in
Trouble’s what I’m in
Trouble’s what I’m in

Will I go to Heaven or will I be sent to Hell?
Between the two It’s me and you and all the lies we tell
All the lies we tell
All the lies we tell

I’ve Been Down a Mighty Long Time

I’ve been down a mighty long time, a mighty long time been down
I’ve been down a mighty long time, mighty long time been down
I’ve been down a mighty long time, a mighty long time been down
I’ve been down a mighty long time, mighty long time been down

Mud and glass flows through my veins, it tears me up inside
Lying on the floor in the middle of the night, lying there I cry
Lying there I cry
Lying there I cry

Oh Lord when I break free I’m gonna walk against the sky
I will quit this foolishness and come in from outside
Come in from outside
Come in from outside

Everyone and everything is down on me I’m scared
Am I really all that bad? Does anybody care?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody care?

When I die I hope that I have rectified my sin
I really want to see the light but trouble’s what I’m in
Trouble’s what I’m in
Trouble’s what I’m in

Will I go to Heaven or will I be sent to Hell?
Between the two It’s me and you and all the lies we tell
All the lies we tell
All the lies we tell
