Dirty fifty

Verse 1

In a world I once knew, a dirty old fifty,

Where trash shines brighter than Louis Vuitton,

Oh, how the times change, but we miss the beauty,

While fires and floods take away what’s gone.

Chorus

Every road that I take, there’s resistance I face,

Where can I go when the weight’s hard to trace?

It’s not politics, but if it were,

I’m the one left standing, watching the blur.

Verse 2

Struggling to work, catch a ride for a fee,

Twenty-eight bucks just to get me free.

Headlight’s out, in the city of Pensacola,

Oh, good ole boys, think you know the whole story.

Chorus

Every road that I take, there’s resistance I face,

Where can I go when the weight’s hard to trace?

It’s not politics, but if it were,

I’m the one left standing, watching the blur.

Bridge

You put me in places you think I belong,

But you’re wrong, my friends, you’re getting it wrong.

Blame it on the dog, what a joke, can’t you see?

Serve and protect, isn’t that how it should be?

Chorus

Every road that I take, there’s resistance I face,

Where can I go when the weight’s hard to trace?

It’s not politics, but if it were,

I’m the one left standing, watching the blur.

Outro

Accountability’s coming, can you feel the tide?

Remember it’s written, vengeance is not mine.

It’s the Lord’s, oh, we’ll rise from the pain,

In a world of chaos, we’ll find hope again.
