From the recording Lost in Kentucky
Lyrics
My daddy has rough hands from turning a wrench
Back pain grease stains blue collar sense
His life fits him just fine
I was his boy born into that rhythm
But the skin I was in for the soul I was given
Never felt like mine
I am a caterpillar burst into wings
Let me fly into the air
I’m a child of God coming into myself
What do you care
The boys in the state house are stirring the pot
They make you believe I’m something I’m not
And boy don’t it hurt when they do
They lie about me for their personal gain
To take your mind off the minimum wage
And write off hard working people like you
I am a caterpillar burst into wings
Let me fly into the air
I’m a child of God coming into myself
What do you care
My daddy was raised on the good book
He didn’t plan on what I put him through
But he felt my pain and rolled with the change
He still loves me why don’t you
I am a caterpillar burst into wings
Let me fly into the air
I’m a child of God coming into myself
What do you care
