Andrew Ripp - The Privileged Life lyrics

Twenty-four years ago today I was a baby born and That's the day I started singing my song It wasn't long before I felt the river water send a chill into my bones They told me, they're washin' me clean This is the blood to keep me cool and serene They told me, you gotta believe And now today I swear to God I'm gonna find out what they mean ‘Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll I got nobody no where to go but Maybe it's just me I'm afraid of Twenty-four years I've been a man I've done the best I can and Now today I thought i'd write me a song It took some time to find the man that I was trying to hide but Now I can finally say I found my way home They told me, they're washin' me clean This is the blood to keep me cool and serene They told me, you gotta believe And now today I swear to God I'm gonna find out what they mean ‘Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll I got nobody no where to go but Maybe it's just me I'm afraid of Oh, Oh, Take me away baby Take me away, where I gotta go
