	Lyrics I left the place I'd known And went out to find my home The world kept saying I was wrong from the start But what's true to the world ain't true to the heart Rich men got their jewels And law men got their rules But what's the world got for a boy like me Except a drink and a dream and a song to sing My Father told me Son The world outside is a wicked one So find something dear and never let go Or else loneliness will be all you know My mother used to pray For the good Lord to show me the way But the Devil jumped up and he held me tight And said come on boy back into the night Chorus: It's a strange life in a strange land So many ways to lose with a winning hand And it's a mighty long way to salvation's arms By the time I get to heaven the saints will be gone Since I was just a lad They've been telling me that I was bad I was told that love was the only key I turned to love but she wouldn't have me I looked out where I've been raised Like being locked in a golden cage I was born in the country I've lived in the town I've been dreaming of the city since I first came down Like every man I've known I'm standing at life's weary road It's long and it's ugly but I'll tell you my friend I'll be standing strong once I reach its end Rich men got their jewels And law men got their rules But what's the world got for a boy like me Except a drink and a dream and a song to sing
