 I had it tough when I was just a little kid
 It didn't matter what I thought
 It didn't matter what I did
 I felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the start
 It did a number on my head
 It could never touch my heart
 'Cause I had just enough imagination
 Just enough to keep the faith
 That somehow I would think of what to do
 When I'd get lost in a momentary weakness of emotion
 All the angels came around to help me through
 Life pulls fast changes, wind blows past pages
 All I see is I don't need this
 High strung tightrope walk, ticking time bomb clock
 Scratch my name off, cut these chains
 I'm free, kickin' out of that prison, I am free
 Singin' those words of wisdom, let it be
 Nobody gonna put the blues inside of me
 Yeah, hey
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 And there is nothing we can do
 Mhhm,and in the stress to be the best I've done it all
 I've slammed the doors, I've jammed the locks
 I've laid the bricks, I've built the walls
 No one could tell me back then why joy eluded me
 Kept bumping into that misery
 Locked up deep down inside of me
 Took that rage and I, turned that page and I
 Packed my tools, went back to school, yeah
 And I passed my graduation, and I hold my Ph.d
 In crash test blues I paid those dues
 I'm free, kickin' out of that prison, I am free
 Singin' those words of wisdom, let it be
 Nobody gonna put the blues inside of me, yeah
 Time flies by in photographs
 And paper scraps and songs
 Here I stand in ruby slippers
 Three times takes me home
 Yeah, I'm free
