lyrics

Slumped through his life
With his feet on the floor
Gave up the fight
Never settled a score

Followed in the footsteps
'cause that's what you do
"Dream don't pay when the
bill comes due
Eugene Gordon Brown"

Didn't hold his head up
But never let them down
Never made a name
Worthy of renown

Eugene Gordon Brown
Don't let them get you down
Gotta try if you want to fly
And get those feet off the ground

Pop up pocket gophers
Hemmed in by cube walls
Hundred right turns down
Endless maze halls

Hidden in a billfold
Like a backslider's sin
Picture of a plane
Crumpled worn thin

Eugene Gordon Brown
Don't let them get you down
Gotta try if you want to fly
And get those feet off the ground

They may have you hemmed up
In a cardboard box
But no man
Can put your soul in a cage
Eugene Gordon Brown

Eugene Gordon Brown
Don't let them get you down
Gotta try if you want to fly
And get those feet off the ground
