  • It's cold in here feels like everything's upside down
    I can feel you talking but I can barley make out the sound
    I been kicking around these parts, feels like a year
    I'm gonna change this world if I ever get out of here
    She wants to dress me in pink, paints my bedroom blue
    And I just laugh to myself, 'cause only I know the truth
    This love is my only emotion
    Haven't learned any fear any pain
    It's kind of funny with all this commotion
    I guess they've got me to blame
    And they don't even know my name
    They don't even know my name

    Well I've never felt so ready, think it's finally time
    'Cause that big old world is waiting, and it's mine all mine
    Just then everything got real quiet, it got real bright
    And a man took my hand said don't worry, your mama's gonna be alright
    Then he opened the gate and I followed him in
    Said you can wait right here, 'til it's your turn again
    And his love is the one true emotion
    Heaven knows no fear no pain
    I never got to set my wheels in motion
    They loved me just the same
    And they didn't even know name
    Didn't even know my name
    You loved me just the same
    And you didn't even know my name Writer/s: George Canyon, Gordie Sampson
