Peace River

I come from a place

Run by a man named Mr. Paige

He took everything and he wanted more

A gun and a knife and he'd use the law

He'd smack you in the head in public

He'd kick you down and he'd think nothing of it

Keep your head down, swallow your pride

If you wanna live to see the night and

I guess I had my fill

Of playing from the valley to the top of the hill

And even though I got away

I couldn't shake Mr. Paige

And I've fulfilled all my desires

I couldn't put out the fire

Things going in my head

That I need him put to rest

So I will take off, fly off

Get a little bit of step in my walk

Checked on day been giving me a call

And I'm done fallin'

So I will take off, fly off

Get a little bit of step in my walk

Swimming in the Peace River for more

Oh ho, darling

I packed my bags and went

To a place I promise I'd never been

Coming from a cowarly stance

It turned me into a cowardly man

Y'all wouldn't believe what I've seen

Mr. Paige, he was broke at the knees

Somebody so brave and strong

Just turned weak and worn

The fear, it disappeared

And the hate it followed it

To a place it occupied

Be replaced by love and lies

So I will take off, fly off

Get a little bit of step in my walk

Checked on day been giving me a call

And I'm done fallin'

So I will take off, fly off

Get a little bit of step in my walk

Swimming in the Peace River for more

Oh ho, darling
