I always wonder why My mama left town New Haven ain't a bag of salt When nobody knows your name.
You look so different over the phone - Seven states away they're doin' Doin' the strange fruit swing When they come down - You have to leave town
I am Too tough to die I am Too tough to die
Blessed are those who believe, Who believe, and have not seen - I wasn't there. And it's got me wondering And the man you make then and now - He's burning School's are learning you can't unlearn No room to turn Let alone run
And I am Too tough to die I am Too tough to die
It's in their eyes It's unspoken Don't even know - they're out to do you harm Can't even see the pulse beating In the axle of your arm.
Outlaw wearin' diamond patches of sunlight on his coat. Livin in a cage make a 7 time daddy lose his mind to roam. Derision's a cold wind against my skin You keep a-flayin til there's no skin at all
