Chico Harpo - Outta My Own Way Lyrics

There I was nothing left to say, the world is f*cked and won't ever change
My punk rock ideologies became broken dreams
For some reason you came along, and snuck into this heart one more song
When I was just fine livin' my life, dyin' in a ditch, ain't that rich

I promise you I'll never give up, and you know that I'm strong
But sometimes being yourself is the hardest thing of all

I'm tired of being afraid and always running away
From love, the real stuff, I'm getting out, outta my own way

I'm a charismatic piece of shit, when the charges are about to stick
I'll run and hide and plead Beethoven's Fifth
Or just like Patsy Cline, I'll go walkin' after midnight
Talking with all the ghosts that wander and haunt my mind, yea that's right

But I promised you I'd never give up, and you know that I'm strong
But sometimes being yourself is the hardest thing of all

I'm tired of being afraid and always running away
From love, the real stuff, I'm getting out, outta my own way

This is my redemption song, my impostor syndrome sing along
Como la flor I still got tanto amor
Rock n' roll saved my soul, but you saved my life

I'm tired of being afraid and always running away
From love, the real stuff, I'm getting out, outta my own way
