Get Up On Your Feet

Sundown at the track, and the runner's heading back
I took it for a fact that I was just spinning my wheels every summer night

Wasted all my time, pretending you were mine
and I thought I had a spine, until I had you made up in the moonlight

Am I who I am supposed to be?
Or have my brothers corrupted me?

I know I'm misled, a sunrise in my head
that all those things you said, they were just lies meant to keep me from coming 'round

Wasted all my time, pretending you were mine
and i almost lost my mind, picking the locks that you left on my little town

Am I who i am supposed to be?
Or have my brothers gone and corrupted every part of me?
Am I where i am gonna stay?
How I plan for tomorrow, and still live for today

I was feeling the weight of it trying to make a fit
breathing hard down on my knees
when something inside took on a hold of my mind and said
kid, get up on your feet

I was driving all night with it, trying to fight,
and I wound up, alone in the street
something divine snaked up into my mind and said
kid, get up on your feet

Get up on your feet, get up on your feet
get up on your feet, get up on your feet
get up on your feet, get up on your feet
