[Verse 1]I'm a white man living in a white man's worldUnder our roof is a baby girlI thought this world could be hers one dayBut her momma knew better[Verse 2]I'm a white man living in a white man's townWant to take a shot of cocaine and burn it downMomma wants to change that Nashville soundBut they're never gonna let her[Chorus]There's no such thing as someone else's warYour creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting forIf you're still breathing, it's not too lateWe're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate[Verse 3]I'm a white man living on a white man's streetI've got the bones of the red man under my feetThe highway runs through their burial groundsPast the oceans of cotton[Verse 4]I'm a white man looking in a black man's eyesWishing I'd never been one of the guysWho pretended not to hear another white man's jokeOh, the times ain't forgotten[Chorus]There's no such thing as someone else's warYour creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting forYou're still breathing, it's not too lateWe're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate[Instrumental bridge][Verse 5]I'm a white man living in a white man's nationI think the man upstairs must'a took a vacationI still have faith, but I don't know whyMaybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyesMaybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
