Powerful Man - Alex G

Davey broke the law again

Heard this time he’s going to the pen

Guess I didn’t need my lunch

'Cause I was going to miss him a whole bunch

Maybe he was out of line

But he was still a pretty close friend of mine

Maybe he had hurt me bad

But a brother is a brother and that is that

Mom’s in a mood this week

'Cause she thinks that her family is going crazy

Guess it started with the baby

She went in for a hug, then it bit her on the cheek

That was pretty funny to me

But I guess I should have more sympathy

I never raised a kid

But I bet I’d do a good job if I did

Had a dream about a promised land

Walkin' 'round with a big gun in my hand

And when I look you in the eye

You’re gonna tell me that you love me and hold me tight

'Cause you know that I have no fear

Ain’t gonna walk into the river and disappear

I’m gonna be a powerful man

Red blood running down the broken sand

I couldn’t tell you

What it means to me
