Train - My Private Nation lyrics

Why you gotta treat me like
I'm a low down dirty climbin' up on thirty
'Dress like a kid to make me feel young' punk
And talk junk
You musta fell out of your bunk
And smacked your head
Or your face or somethin'

I don't need nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus
Go on and get yourself your own dream
Cuz this is my own life keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when
In my private nation
You can ride or you can go

Why you gonna step on shoes
When you don't know whose been in 'em
Have you ever been more than a bump
On a rock that likes to roll
In the middle of a soup bowl in the sky
Use your eyes it's all you got till you die

You can ride on, it ain't free
Leave a light on, so you can see
How to get back when you go
How to get, how to give
How to make ends meet
How to lose, how to win
How to stay on the seat
How to use momentum make
The two wheels straight
How to wait after it feels
Like you waited so long

This is my own life keepin me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
Im alone all thinkin lifes a phone call
Here for just a while when
In my private nation
You can ride on, it ain't free
Leave a light on, so you can see
How to get back
