Well I'm livin' with the mistakes I've made Plenty more where I'm from I’m robbin' peter so paul gets paid Plenty more where I'm from I’ve strayed so far from the open road I've been places my shadow refused to go I went to school but they called me slow Plenty more where I'm from They couldn't teach me what I needed to know Plenty more where I'm from My heart still breaks & my throat it swells Like a dirty lump o' coal at the new year bell's A song of hope to lift my spirits if you please Or a tale of old rebellion if you dare I hope I live to see the day I laugh at days like these And walk the walk of one without a care I'll shift my load but I won't shift the blame Plenty more where I'm from I respect my neighbour and expect the same Plenty more where I'm from I’ve strayed so far from the open road I've been places my shadow refused to go I don't trust what I can't see Plenty more where I'm from But I believe in something higher than me Plenty more where I'm from My heart still breaks & my throat it swells Like a dirty lump o' coal at the new year bell's
