Mavis Staples - Little Bit lyrics

This life surrounds you Guns are loaded This kind of tension Hard not to notice Right, do what you’re told Gotta keep your eyes wide On this long, narrow road Little bit too high (Little bit) A little bit too low (Little bit) Get a little bit out of line (Little bit) But baby won’t it home Poor kid, they caught him Without his license That ain’t why they shot him They say he was fighting So, that’s what we’re told But we all know That ain’t how the story goes (Ha) Mhm, a little bit too high (Little bit) A little bit too bold (Little bit) A little bit out of line (Little bit) Now my baby won’t make it home Whole life surrounds you Hard not to notice Pay attention to the Path before us Little bit too high baby (Little bit) Little bit too low (Little bit) Little bit out of line (Little bit) But baby won’t make it a home You feel surrounded Maybe you’re confused Maybe you’re confounded What is there to do Little bit from you (Little bit) A little bit from me (Little bit) Simple as it gets (Little bit) We set each other free (Little bit) (Little bit) Little bit from you (Little bit) From me (Little bit) Simple as it get (Little bit) Selling [?] each other free
