Another Life

Another Life - James Maddock

My future is uncertain

My back starts hurting

As soon as I get out of bed

Listen to the news station

Trouble in the whole nation

Airplane passes by

It's got to be a mile high

Reminds me that I'm not a bird

But there's a side of me

One part prisoner and one part free

There's only so much any man can be

We all want another life

Another 50 years

To see the outback in himalayas

Feel that arctic wind around your ears

We all want another life

I'm picking up my pay check

How am I gonna make it

How am I gonna get out of this hole

Stuck in a time frame caught up in the mundane

I wanna learn dancing motorbike riding

Maybe have a kid or two or three

But there's a side of me

One part prisoner and one part free

There's only so much any man can be

We all want another life

Another 50 years

To see the outback in himalayas

Feel that arctic wind around your ears

We all want another life

I wanna try acting

White water rafting

Be a total failure

Backpacking in Australia

Learn to play the sitar

Get better on my guitar

Try some of my legal substances

There's a side of me

One part prisoner and one part free

There's only so much any man can be

We all want another life

There's so much to know

So many places that you wanna go

We've hardly got the time to stop and say hello

We all want another life

Sail the Baltic sea

Ride an elephant Timbukthree

Walk this land from sea to shining sea

We all want another life
