lyrics
I opened up the door
Set my bag on the counter
I looked out at the window
she was standing there
I opened up the window
I went back to call her name
but when I went to find her
she was faster than the wind
Faster than the wind.
Tweaking in the backseat
My eyes were lost in stare
While she was off in Ames
9th & Water I was scared
Reminds me of December
When the air was cold and dry
It gives me chills to think about her
Up my feet and down my spine
And when she tried to find me
I was lost in my mind
these towns they aren't the same
the country gave no signs
Back then I was young
I had so much to learn
But hit took me too long to learn
Milwaukee far from here
I was weak and weary
beaten and broken down
at last i found my story
in shattered pieces in the ground
and when i return with two feet on the ground
i'll tear off these shackles that abstained to this ground
and i'll stomp up the front way, where you left me more than once
the great emancipator, with an audience of one
An audience of one
