baba shrimps - steady lane lyrics

[verse 1]
he worked his hands to the bone
always late comin’ home
tryin’ to keep the d+mn show on the road that
that leads from the docks to the port
momma’s on a late shift
came back in the morning mist now
now i’m runnin’ down grafton street
where my mother and my father meet

[pre+chorus]
i feel the burden on my back
the wheel of time is rollin’ away
and i feel the pressure building up on me

[chorus]
my father told me, son, don’t stay in the city
he worked so hard for things to change
i can’t count the years i’ve been in this city
i’m tryin’ to make it out of here

[verse 2]
i wish that i could have known
one day they’d be gone
i feel my heart breaking
standing on the docks when the ships come in
i’m in my childhood home
it feels bigger on my own
times have changed, now i gotta run
i know it seems fast, but i gotta move on
[chorus]
my father told me, son, don’t stay in the city
he worked so hard for things to change
i can’t count the years i’ve been in this city
i’m tryin’ to make it out of here

[bridge]
now my life’s been turned around
found a new lover and i’m on solid ground
i wish they could see me now
a new home on a different shore
i got my own boy and i’m loving to watch him grow
i tell him how

[chorus]
my father told me, son, don’t stay in the city (don’t stay now)
he worked so hard for things to change
i can’t count the years i’ve been in this city (been in this city)
and now i found my way out of here

[outro]
i can’t find my way out of here
oh, find my way
so many years out there
and now i found my way out of here
