0:11I'm a white man living in a white man's world
0:17Under our roof is a baby girl
0:23I thought this world could be her's one day
0:29But her momma knew better
0:35I'm a white man living in a white man's town
0:40Want to take a shot of cocaine and burn it down
0:47Momma wants to change that Nashville sound
0:52But they're never gonna let her
0:59There's no such thing as someone else's war
1:05Your creature comforts aren't the
1:07Only things worth fighting for
1:11Still breathing it's not too late
1:16We're all carrying one big burden sharing one fate
1:22I'm a white man living on a white man's street
1:28I've got the bones of the red man under my feet
1:34The highway runs through their burial grounds
1:40Past the oceans of cotton
1:46I'm a white man looking in a black man's eyes
1:52Wishing I'd never been one of the guys
1:58Who pretended not to hear another white man's joke
2:03Oh the times ain't forgotten
2:10There's no such thing as someone else's war
2:16Your creature comforts aren't
2:18The only things worth fighting for
2:22You're still breathing it's not too late
2:28We're all carrying one big burden sharing one fate
3:21I'm a white man living in a white man's nation
3:27I think the man upstairs must'a took a vacation
3:33I still have faith but I don't know why
3:40Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
3:45Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
I'm a white man living in a white man's world Under our roof is a baby girl I thought this world could be her's one day But her momma knew better I'm a white man living in a white man's town Want to take a shot of cocaine and burn it down Momma wants to change that Nashville sound But they're never gonna let her There's no such thing as someone else's war Your creature comforts aren't the Only things worth fighting for Still breathing it's not too late We're all carrying one big burden sharing one fate I'm a white man living on a white man's street I've got the bones of the red man under my feet The highway runs through their burial grounds Past the oceans of cotton I'm a white man looking in a black man's eyes Wishing I'd never been one of the guys Who pretended not to hear another white man's joke Oh the times ain't forgotten There's no such thing as someone else's war Your creature comforts aren't The only things worth fighting for You're still breathing it's not too late We're all carrying one big burden sharing one fate I'm a white man living in a white man's nation I think the man upstairs must'a took a vacation I still have faith but I don't know why Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
