Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - 95 South (All of the Places We've Been) lyrics

[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron] In my lifetime, I've been in towns Where there was no freedom or future around I've been in places where you could not eat Or take a drink of water wherever you pleased And now that I meet you in the middle of a mountain Well, I'm reaching on out from within And-a all I can think of are chapters and scenes of All of the places we've been [Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron] I'm not such an old man, so don't get me wrong I'm the latest survivor of the constantly strong I've been to Mississippi and down city streets I've seen days of plenty and nights with nothing to eat But I'm not too happy 'bout the middle of a mountain, so Soon I'll be climbing again ‘Cause all I can think of are chapters and scenes of All of the places we've been [Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron] Raised up in a small town in the country down south So I've been close enough to know what oppression's about Placed on this mountain with a rare chance to see Dreams once envisioned by folks much braver than me And since their lives got me to the middle of a mountain Well, I can't stop and give up on them ‘Cause their lights that shine on inspire me to climb on From all of the places we've been From all of the places we've been From all of the places we've... Been a lot of places, yeah From all of the places we've been Been down, been down, been down a lot of roads and places All of the places, from all of the, all of the, all of the, all of the places we've Been down, been down, been down a lot of roads, yeah, together Together
