| What can you say?
There isn't much to tell.
I'm going downhill
and I blame myself.
I've been jumpin' at shadows,
thinking 'bout my life.
Everybody points their hand at me.
I know I'm just a picture
of what I should've been.
I've been jumpin' at shadows,
thinking 'bout my life.
| God have mercy.
I think I'm going insane.
The Devil's been gettin' at me
he's got me down again.
Got me jumping at shadows,
just thinking about my life.

What's free to you?
"I'll tell you what freedom is to me. No fear! I mean, really - - no fear. If I could have that half of my life - no fear." - Nina Simone
I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free
| And I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holdin' me
I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole 'round world to hear
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the doubts
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be free
I wish I could give
All I'm longin' to give
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
And though I'm way over due
I'd be startin' a new
| Well I wish I could be
Like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found out I could fly
So long to my song
And look down upon the sea
And I sing because I know yeah
And I sing because I know yeah
And I sing because I know
I would know how it feels
I would know how it feels to be free
I would know how it feels
Yes, I would know
I would know how it feels, how it feelsTo be free, no no.
- Nina Simone

I'll see you when the morning gets bright,
Don't let the beddybugs bite,
We'll both jump up when the sun gets light,
Goodnight, little darlin', goodnight.

Jump Up, By Elvis Costello
"Everybody's talking like they can't sit down
And looking like they can't stand up
It must be the lastest style
And they've seen a lot of things that you never see
Back on the mile, up to the hanging tree
Some people can't keep their fingers clean
Just clicking their heels to the beat of the scene
Trying to keep careen until the first edition of last night's obituaries
Jump up, hold on tight
Can't trust the promise or a guarantee
'Cause the man 'round the curve says
That he's never heard of you or me."
Aw Heck, by John Prine.
I'd run a mile, just to see her smile
And put her lovin arms, around my neck
Aw heck
My spine starts a tingling, and bells start a ringling
When she's with me, can't you see.
They could torture me and stretch me like a rubber band
Long as I got my woman
I could jump off a cliff and never have no fear
Just as long as she is near
My woman.

Movin' Away, by My Morning Jacket.
"Moving away, crazy days to leave
I'll always be an alarmist
Who'd jump at a chance
Anything for romance
I hope I'll always be what you want."
