Society's a Mansion

I almost feel free honey that’s for sure

And I don’t know what I came here for

I ain’t playing games so get off my back

If society’s a mansion, I want to live in a shack

We only had a dollar and someone’s left over food

We sat on the street together

We had nothing to lose

Not chasing the old time wind

Chasing that old-time wind

We slept in fields together

Underneath the tall trees

Hearts as light as a feather

We had no one to please

Not chasing that old time wind

Chasing that old time wind

Well I almost feel free honey that’s for sure

And I don’t know what I came here for

I ain’t playing games so get off my back

If society’s a mansion, I want to live in a shack

I can just taste the raw joy of having nothing but shoes

My guitar on my shoulder

The old man taught us the blues

I am free because I can see the wind won’t be caught by me

We were playing our music right there in Santa Cruz

The homeless woman was dancing

So you took off your shoes

Swayed together and you were free

The wind fell right over me

Well I almost feel free honey that’s for sure

And I don’t know what I came here for

I ain’t playing games so get off my back

If society’s a mansion, I want to live in a shack

Maybe I’ll take off again

Sell my things, like I did back then

The first car that takes me in

Will be right where I begin

But wherever I will go is wherever I will be

So I’ll stay right here with her

Love is real when she’s with me

Well I almost feel free honey that’s for sure

And I don’t know what I came here for

I ain’t playing games so get off my back

If society’s a mansion, I want to live in a shack
