Deliverance

[Hook]

I've been travelin' for some time (for some time)

With my fishin' pole and my bottle of shine (bottle of shine)

On these long dark dusty roads (dusty roads)

Lookin' there's nowhere to go

I guess I gotta hide away, far away

'Cause I gotta find a way to find my way

I gotta hide away, far away

'Cause I gotta find a way to find my way

Ayy-ayy-ayy ayy-ayy-ayy ayy

[Verse 1]

I left out from mamma's with my thumb in the wind

The leaves on the ground, winter's comin again

Solid on the surface as I crumble within

But legends are made out of vulnerable men

So on the brink of death, I still manage livin' life

'Cause so rarely in this world are these chances given twice

I indeed sold my soul, without glancing at the price

No instructions when I was handed this device

But with what I did get, I was more than generous

Put others over self on several instances

But I'm back on my feet without a hint of bitterness

And one way or another I shall have deliverance

So I say:

[Chorus]

I've been travelin' for some time (for some time)

With my fishin' pole and my bottle of shine (bottle of shine)

On these long dark dusty roads (dusty roads)

Lookin' there's nowhere to go

I guess I gotta hide away, far away

'Cause I gotta find a way to find my way

I gotta hide away, far away

'Cause I gotta find a way to find my way

Ayy-ayy-ayy ayy-ayy-ayy ayy

[Verse 2]

Can you recall a time people loved you unconditionally?

Toast in the new south, "This one is for history!"

Then I slipped fell and caused the number's injury

Called the same people and it's "Yo, you just missed them B"

"This the formula, dammit Bubba you had it

Why'd you have to keep it Polo and New Balance?"

Then they start to question whether you a true talent

Or just a redneck substance abuse addict

So then you hide away just to try to find your way

And now they back to callin' you two-hundred times a day

I want all y'all to know, good or bad I'll remember it

And ten million sold in the name of my deliverance

[Chorus]

I've been travelin' for some time (for some time)

With my fishin' pole and my bottle of shine (bottle of shine)

On these long dark dusty roads (dusty roads)

Lookin' there's nowhere to go

I guess I gotta hide away, far away

'Cause I gotta find a way to find my way

I gotta hide away, far away

'Cause I gotta find a way to find my way

Ayy-ayy-ayy ayy-ayy-ayy ayy

[Verse 3]

Nothing could atone for the pain you've endured

The blood you shed is still stainin' your velour

You took your wealth and knowledge and gave it to the poor

Only to discover that your savior's manure

Accepted me as kin, put before your younger brother

They put a lot on us hardly knowin' one another

I honestly can say that over time I've come to love you

Now we are brothers and together, no one can touch us

It haunts me with regret I never met your baby girl

She's an angel on your shoulder helpin' us to save the world

This musical marriage is no coincidence

On my mamma, Timmy, baby, we shall have deliverance

So we say:

[Chorus]

I've been travelin' for some time (for some time)

With my fishin' pole and my bottle of shine (bottle of shine)

On these long dark dusty roads (dusty roads)

Lookin there's nowhere to go

I guess I gotta hide away, far away

'Cause I gotta find a way, to find my way

I gotta hide away, far away

'Cause I gotta find a way, to find my way

Ayy-ayy-ayy ayy-ayy-ayy ayy
