Lyrics
Feeling nervous, aren't you, boy? With your quiet voice and your impeccable style Don't ever let them steal your joy Or your gentle ways, to keep them from running wild They can kick dirt in your face Dress you down, and tell you that your place is in the middle When they hate the way you shine I see you tugging on your shirt Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts Let 'em laugh while they can Let 'em spin Let 'em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them You get discouraged, don't you, girl? It's your brother's world for a while longer You gotta dance with the devil on a river to beat the stream Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder They come to kick dirt in your face Dress you down and then displace you After carrying your baby on your back across the desert I saw your eyes behind your hair And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared
