0:14You're feeling nervous aren't you boy
0:18With your quiet voice and impeccable style
0:26Don't ever let them steal your joy
0:31And your gentle ways to keep 'em from running wild
0:39They can kick dirt in your face
0:42Dress you down and tell you that your place
0:44Is in the middle when they hate the way you shine
0:52I see you tugging on your shirt
0:57Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts
1:04Let 'em laugh while they can
1:10Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind
1:19I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends
1:26And the joke's on them
1:44You get discouraged don't you girl
1:48It's your brother's world for a while longer
1:55We gotta dance with the devil on a river
1:58To beat the stream
2:01Call it living the dream call it kicking the ladder
2:08They come to kick dirt in your face
2:11To call you weak and then displace you
2:15After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
2:22I saw your eyes behind your hair
2:26And you're looking tired but you don't look scared
2:33Let 'em laugh while they can
2:39Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind
2:48I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends
2:56And the joke's on them
3:11Let 'em laugh while they can
3:17Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind
3:26I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends
3:33And the joke's on them
You're feeling nervous aren't you boy With your quiet voice and impeccable style Don't ever let them steal your joy And your gentle ways to keep 'em from running wild They can kick dirt in your face Dress you down and tell you that your place Is in the middle when they hate the way you shine I see you tugging on your shirt Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts Let 'em laugh while they can Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them You get discouraged don't you girl It's your brother's world for a while longer We gotta dance with the devil on a river To beat the stream Call it living the dream call it kicking the ladder They come to kick dirt in your face To call you weak and then displace you After carrying your baby on your back across the desert I saw your eyes behind your hair And you're looking tired but you don't look scared Let 'em laugh while they can Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them Let 'em laugh while they can Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them
