Eric McFadden - That's how I know I'm Here lyrics

rate me

That's how I know I'm here

I hitched a ride with a carnival show didn't bother to ask where they was going

and I eased my mind with all the rum i could find 'cause some things just aint worth knowing

they hired me on and the hours were long and the work it was as dirty as any

it the night we would sing and good times it would bring the women and the spirits were many

but things they got funny when i asked for my money and quite a large sum i was owed

and the last thing i saw was a fist to my jaw i woke up on the side of the road

with blood on my teeth face down on the tracks that's how i know i'm here

i took up shelter with agnes the mute, she wasn't much for conversation

so before long it was time to move on, i headed for the nearest train station

life it aint easy but it aint about easy, it aint about just getting by

and i aint here just to stay above ground or to sleep walk through life til i die

with the dust in my eyes and the wind at my back thats how i know i'm here

with an ache in my soul asleep on the tracks thats how i know i'm here

i've been robbed i've been swindled been beaten been torn been left for dead in the street

but i've been fighting since the day i was born and i always get back on feet

life it aint easy but it aint about easy, it aint about just getting by

and i aint here just to stay above ground or to sleep walk through life til i die

with dust in my eyes and the wind at my back thats how i know i'm here

with an ache in my soul as the sky fades to black that's how i know i'm here

that's how i know i'm here<br />
