White Man's World - Live

Lyrics

I'm a white man living in a white man's world
 Under our roof is a baby girl
 I thought this world could be hers one day
 But her mama knew better
 I'm a white man living in a white man's town
 Wanna take a shot of cocaine and burn it down
 Mama wants to change that Nashville sound
 But they're never gonna let her
 There's no such thing as someone else's war
 Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
 Still breathing, it's not too late
 We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate
 I'm a white man living on a white man's street
 I've got the bones of the red man under my feet
 The highway runs through their burial grounds
 Past the oceans of cotton
 I'm a white man looking in a black man's eyes
 Wishing I'd never been one of the guys
 We pretended not to hear another white man's joke
 Oh, the times ain't forgotten
 There's no such thing as someone else's war
 Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
 You're still breathing, it's not too late
 We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate
 I'm a white man living in a white man's nation
 I think the man upstairs must'a took a vacation
 I still have faith, but I don't know why
 Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
 Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
