lyrics

I knew a man who was hidden away from the eyes the world near the sea

He took me fishing on his boat one day, rolled his eyes as he sat next to me

He said "darlin', money don't mean that much to me"

I said "Mr. set me free."


I told him bout all things that I loved, all the plans that I had in my head

I told him bout that big house on the lake and I can't stop, cuz I'll sleep when I'm dead

He said darlin your whole life will go by,

and you'll have those pretty things to show but nothing that was worth your time


Baby with your eyes so wide

You're doing what you think is right

but your so, so off, you're so far off


Listen to the old and wise

I've already lived your life

And I ask you at what cost? You don't know the cost

Baby you're so far off


I knew a man who was hiding his heart lost his way as he rose to the top

He had all of the wealth you could want, I guess he just didn't know where to stop

He told me darlin, love is what means the world to me

I said Mr. I can't set you free



I told him bout all the things that I loved all the plans that I had in my head

He seemed to look far off to the west did he listen to a word that I said?

He told me, "darlin your whole life will go by

And you've got not another day to waste another dream to live or die"


Give me the answers I should find

I need the truth in half the time

straight from the horses mouth

And we're the wringing the lessons out

No sugar coating for this girl

I'm the one laughing at the world

I'll get it all worked out

I'm not letting my visions down
