Mind To Get Free

Chorus
I’m down in the raw part of town, with a mind to get free,
I’m down in the raw part of town – how to keep you with me?

Verse 1
I try to learn from my history, but it’s so hard to grow,
I saw you wanting a mystery, I never learn, you know.
A new woman is a dream indeed, they always have a glow,
I think it was Nature who decreed, I latch on, then I fail slow.

Chorus
I’m down in the raw part of town, with a mind to get free,
I’m down in the raw part of town – how to keep you with me?

Bridge
Like Byron said, “I’m mad, bad,
and dangerous to know.”
Never know what I had,
a man of frequent woe,
with a mind to get free
down in the raw part of town,
with a mind to get free,
how to keep you with me?

Verse 2
She was a victim of her own heart; so am I, so are you.
Souls who connect, sometimes come apart, so odd the way they do.
Every life seems to choose a test, so odd the way they do.
Ready to give it all a rest . . . so am I, but are you?

Chorus
I’m down in the raw part of town, with a mind to get free,
I’m down in the raw part of town – how to keep you with me?

Chorus
I’m down in the raw part of town, with a mind to get free,
I’m down in the raw part of town – how to keep you with me?
How to keep you with me?
How to keep you with me?
