Far Away

Gov't Mule

Hello again - It's me, the fool on the hill

Life here ain't so bad

My friends are tired - their lives are wasted

Just like their moms and their dads



And they don't know what I am talking about

And they may never know



I'm just fourteen - but I know where I stand

Behind these walls - life ain't so easy

But it's turned me into a man



Sometimes I don't know what I am talking about

And I may never know



Far away - the cool taste of reality

Far away - perfect little family

Far away - the little boy I used to be



Look at my eyes - maybe they'll show you the truth

The truth I cannot see

Once in a while I catch a glimpse of it all

But it slips away from me

Someday I'll know what's going on in my head

For now, I'll just stay here



Far away - the cool taste of reality

Far away - perfect little family

Far away - the little boy I used to be

Far away



I hate it when they look right through you

It sends me into a rage

I know I ain't crazy - and I don't need your proof

I just need out of this cage



Hello again - It's me, the fool on the hill

Life here ain't so bad
