Colin Hay - Small Price To Be Free lyrics

Here I go I'm cooking on the run The water's boiling over Here I go I'm rising with the sun Small price to be free Here I go I fade into the crowd Full of sons and lovers I catch no eyes no that is not allowed Small price to be free I can remember a time and a place Nineteen hundred and sixty-three I was so young all I wanted was fun The world it was smiling back at me This was not long to be That steam engine train carries my shame And in my dreamtime I smell the rain Here I go I'm sleeping at the wheel Blue men pulls me over I tip my hat to my own nerves of steel They send me on my way Here I go I'm in a strangers land The sun is always shining Sometimes things don't go as I had planned Small price to be free I know that I am not long for this world The reaper came calling on me I just pretended that no one was home There's still some things I have to see Before I feel free To step on that train feeling no pain And in my dreamtime I still smell the rain Can I hear some knockin' at my door Now don't say it's all over Can I pay for just a little more Small price to be free
