Lost in the Congo Songtext
von Doyle Bramhall

Everything′s alright by me
The life I'm living′s what I want to lead
You can knock me down and watch me bleed
But you sure can't make me not believe
That right here's where I′m supposed to be
And I′ve had mine handed on a silver platter
I watched others get theirs that stood in the shadows
Kissed it away a thousand times
Go get yours, 'cause baby I′m that man
I've had mine handed on a silver platter

Even though I′m lost in the Congo
All alone, a million miles from home
In the dark of night down a dead end road
It's alright here no matter where I go
I′m lost in the Congo


Sure sometimes I find myself
Having trouble dealing with what's been dealt
But it's through these toughest trials and tests
When it gets all odds, I′ve got to place my bet
And sometimes then I find myself

Even though I′m lost in the Congo
All alone, a million miles from home
In the dark of night down a lonely road
It's alright here no matter where I go
I′m lost in the Congo

'Cause I′ve got something deep down inside
That keeps me steady on the roughest ride
I don't have to run, don′t have to hide
I'll look you right straight in the eye
'Cause down inside I′m satisfied


Lost in the Congo
All alone, a million miles from home
In the dark of night down a dead end road
It′s alright here no matter where I go
I'm lost in the Congo
Lost in the Congo
On a B-road down to Tucumayo
From Daint one to down to Mexico
Lost in the Congo
Even if I′m lost in the Congo
