The city don't even matter

I could be anywhere

I don't care

There's a whole lotta hard workin people

That could take my place

And it's easy to leave

When nobody knows your face

Just close your eyes

You can hear me in the harmony

I came up in New Orleans

Fixin what I could find

To peace my mind

I gave what I had to the winners

Just to get along

But it's really hard to sing

When nobody hears your song

Just close your eyes

You can hear me in the harmony

I thought I learned from getting burned

I bought a suit of armor and a silver cane

I found a little man who'd be proud of me

But he had to get up early

And I had to get back to my pain

I guess I'll keep on livin

One day they'll ask for me

I'll be free

And if there's a heaven

I'll be ready for my life to begin

But I wonder if I call

If they're gonna let me in

Open your eyes

You can hear me in the harmony
