Citizen Cope - Peace River

I come from a place Run by a man named Mr. Paige He took everything and he wanted more A gun and a knife and he'd use the law He'd smack you in the head in public He'd kick you down and he'd think nothing of it Keep your head down, swallow your pride If you wanna live to see the night and I guess I had my fill Of playing from the valley to the top of the hill And even though I got away I couldn't shake Mr. Paige And I've fulfilled all my desires I couldn't put out the fire Things going in my head That I need him put to rest So I will take off, fly off Get a little bit of step in my walk Checked on day been giving me a call And I'm done fallin' So I will take off, fly off Get a little bit of step in my walk Swimming in the Peace River for more Oh ho, darling I packed my bags and went To a place I promise I'd never been Coming from a cowarly stance It turned me into a cowardly man Y'all wouldn't believe what I've seen Mr. Paige, he was broke at the knees Somebody so brave and strong Just turned weak and worn The fear, it disappeared And the hate it followed it To a place it occupied Be replaced by love and lies So I will take off, fly off Get a little bit of step in my walk Checked on day been giving me a call And I'm done fallin' So I will take off, fly off Get a little bit of step in my walk Swimming in the Peace River for more Oh ho, darling
