I'm a white man livin' in a white man's world

Under our roof is a baby girl
Dm Am C | Dm . Am C |
I thought this world could be her's one day
Am Em G | Am . Em G |
But her momma knew better . .
[Verse 2]
Am Em G | Am . Em G |
I'm a white man livin' in a white man's town

But they're never gonna let her . .
[Chorus]
Dm F Em |Am A2 Am |
. There's no such thing as someone else's war
Dm F Em Am Em G
. Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
Dm F Em | Am . Em G |
. Still breathin' it's not too late
Dm F Em E
. We're all carryin' one big burden, sharin' one fate
[Verse 3]
Am Em G | Am . Em G |
I'm a white man livin' on a white man's street
Am Em G | Am . Em G |
I've got the bones of the red man under my feet
Dm Am C | Dm . Am C |
The highway runs through their burial grounds
Am Em G | Am . Em G |
Past the oceans of cotton . .
[Verse 4]
Am Em G | Am . Em G |
I'm a white man lookin' in a black man's eyes
Am Em G | Am . Em G |
Wishin' I'd never been one of the guys
Dm Am C | Dm . Am C |
Who pretended not to hear another white man's joke
Am Em G | Am . Em G |
Ol' times ain't forgotten . .
[Chorus]

Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
