Sugarland

Lyrics: Papa Mali
Music: Papa Mali

Played by Papa Mali with Bill Kreutzmann and Voodoo Dead in May 2015.

Cast a shadow
On my doorstep
And I tell you
Once again
Well I will not
Be forsaken
In sugarland

There's been times
When I was able
But I would not
Take a stand
And my cards
Are on the table
In this place
Called sugarland

[spoken]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Standing on the side of the road
Trying to find what I'm searching for
A place to go
If you see me standing on the side of the highway
Don't ask me where I'm going
I'm not going your way
I'm searching, trying to find my way
So I am standing at the end of the crossroads
Trying to find myself
And how could I tell you, 'cause you don't really know
'Cause I want to find myself, and I want to be alone
If you see me standing
Don't ask me where I'm going
Because I'm not going that way
'Cause I am trying to find my place
Where I'm supposed to be

[sung]
When you wake me
From my daydream
Fill my eyes
With burning sand
And then tell me
Of the story
How I came
To sugarland

I see saints
I see angels
Reaching out
Touch my hand
But I will not
Be forsaken
To live and die
In sugarland
To live and die
In sugarland
To live and die
In sugarland
