Five Years

Buddy Lackey

I ain't looking to put you down

I have no reason to try

it's just the strange way that the world is turning 'round

as if I need a reason why

five years in the underground

shaping sound



it's just a question of ten or two

it's just a matter of time

more and more with life it comes through knowing you

it's just another trip of mine

five years in the underground

counting down



five years in the underground

longer now

my soul is lifted above ground

I think I'm learning to fly

so why's it feel as if you try to hold me down

when all my life that's kept me trying

five years in the underground

shaping sound

five years in the underground

counting down



I know what this means to you

but am I part of your dream

'cause wheels are turning and I've got to see it through

though I ain't expecting nothing

five years in the underground

shaping sound

five years in the underground

counting down

five years in the underground

longer now

over now?
