  • Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
    Other times sunshine high head fine
    In between I get cold, old mean
    Intertwined with country pride open and kind

    This draws a line
    Sorry to coin a phrase
    On either side is wisdom and rage
    So keeping track of time
    Racing with my age
    Sleeping with the snakes
    Forget that you showed up late
    It ain't worth it baby

    [Chorus:]
    A charmed life it is
    At least they tell you so
    I got a good idea
    It ain't like they say is so
    And if it is then let me go
    Let me go

    Any day there might be hell to pay
    But in other ways
    It makes it seem OK
    I'll tell you what I mean
    It's not a plot nor a scheme
    It's just peace in my mind
    Again can I use the word kind
    I ain't sorry about it baby

    [Chorus] Writer/s: CHRIS ROBINSON, CHRISTOPHER MARK ROBINSON, RICH ROBINSON, RICH S. ROBINSON
