Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind   And other times, sunshine, high head fine   In between I get cold, old mean   Intertwined with country pride, open and kind      This draws a line, sorry to coin a phrase   And on either side is wisdom and rage   So keeping track of time, racing with my age   Sleeping with the snakes, forget that you showed up late   It ain't worth it baby      A charmed life it is, at least they tell you so   I got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so   And if it is then let me go, let me go      Any day there might be hell to pay   But in other ways it makes it seem ok   I'll tell you what I mean, it's not a plot nor a scheme   It's just peace in my mind, again, can I use the word kind?   I ain't sorry about it baby      A charmed life it is, at least they tell you so   I got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so   And if it is then let me go, let me go, let me go
