I'm also finding I'm not built for Diet Coke and muffins before 10:00 a.m.
I need to work on my willpower.

I know I'm not that colorful but a bird just the same
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken cause my spirits not free
Lord take away these chains from me
Some birds feathers are too bright to be caged
I know I'm not that colorful but a bird just the same
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken cause my spirits not free
Lord take away these chains from me
Sun beating down, my legs can't seem to stand
There's a boss man at a turn row with a rifle in his hand
I've got nine children, nothin' in the pan
My wife she died hungry while I was plowin' land
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken cause my spirits not free
Lord take away these chains from me
Can't see when I go to work, can't see when I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost
Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt
If there's a happy day, Lord, I haven't seen one yet
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken cause my spirits not free
Lord take away these chains from me
Land that I love is the land that I'm workin'
But it's hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurting
Getting too old now to push this here plow
Please let me lay down so I can look at the clouds
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken cause my spirits not free
Lord take away these chains from me
Land that I know is where two rivers collide
The Brazos, The Navaso, and the big blue sky
Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines
Of any place on God's green earth, this is where I choose to die
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken cause my spirits not free
Lord take away these chains from me

I see, people waitin' for answers to questions no one knows
Hey,
Hey, Yeah...
Oh..
We'll Be, We'll Be Yeah,
Ohhh....
I been seeking survival it seems like my whole life long
And I been working so hard and it feels like it's all gone wrong
Time lonely, need someone to push me to help me through
Make my way through the clouds to the sun like that'll make do
{We'll be fine again}
I say we'll be fine again
{We'll be fine again}
Fine again
{We'll be fine again}
Oh, we'll be fine again
I see, people waitin' for answers to questions no one knows
Drinking joe's, only thinkin' "Oh Lord, whole life blown!"
May we pass out hugs to the thugs to heal our souls
And blue collar suffering, Oh Lord, heal us all
{We'll be fine again}
Oh, we'll be fine
{We'll be fine again}
Oh, we're gonna make it through, yeah
{We'll be fine again}
We'll be fine
Ay, hey
{We'll be alright}
I can't wait to see the brighter picture
{We'll be okay}
Everybody
{Sunlight will shine, past the storm}
Say every, every, everybody
{We'll be fine again}
I know we will, I know it'll get better
{We'll be fine again}
You don't have to drink yourself to sleep at night
{We'll be fine again}
You don't have to stomp all over your problems, no
{We'll be fine again}
Everybody needs a hug
{We'll be fine again}
{We'll be alright}
The whole world, the whole world will be fine
{We'll be fine again}
{We'll be okay}
Oh, yeah
{We'll be fine again}
{Sunlight will shine}
{We'll be fine again}
{We'll be alright}
We'll be alright, we'll be so fine
I know it gets better with time
Go on and let your hair down
Don't worry no more, no more
Don't worry no more, no more
I say we'll be fine again . . .
