Lyrics:
Children in the playground, laughing and dancing in the street
All the colors of the rainbow - wrapped in childlike harmony
Me, I'm not laughing - I see things only as they were
When I first needed you - yeah, when I first needed you
Cars passing by - representing my life
I ain't old but I ain't young enough to cry like a baby
And I'm so scared but I won't tell you for fear you'll hate me more
Tough on the outside, tough on the outside - yeah, tough all over
Clouds go rollin' by as I lay floatin' in a stream of semi-consciousness
I'll follow it 'til the end or at least 'til I drown in my separate reality
Sorry there's only room for me
I used to have an angel - she took care of everything
Yeah, so sometimes we cried - maybe more than most, but so what
We shared everything - even some things we should not have shared
Like my separate reality - now there's only room for me
I walk among the criminals and I pray among the saints
And somewhere in between I try to scrape off this war paint
It's cold in here in the corner of my soul - so dark and lonely
Oh but I ain't never gonna let go
Children in the playground - laughing and dancing in the street
All the colors of the rainbow - wrapped in childlike harmony
Me, I'm not laughing or dancing - I see things only as they were
When I first needed you - yeah, when I first needed you
I used to have everything - now you won't even talk to me, but that's alright
'Cause I've got a new friend and her name is tattooed across my chest
And she won't let me down - 'cause I ain't never, never gonna let her in
Tough on the outside, tough on the outside - and it's surely tough
In my separate reality - sorry there's only room for me
In my separate reality - sorry there's only room for me, for me
Sorry there's only room for me

Warren is beyond amazing! He's got the soul of 10 men.

[@sgt.mullins]

Been a Mule / Warren fan for decades. Got many memories of past concerts. Had the honor of meeting Warren and the band.. Matt..several times. Great people. This cut is by far my favorite.
It's cold in here, in the corner of my soul.

Amazing...just amazing! This kind of deep and soulful performance should be THE guideline for what music truly is.

[@richwhite4066]

Govt mule rocks and Warren Haynes is a national treasure!

[@rustribbonwizz]

Awesome f---king group and an equally awesome and amazing song! One of the Mules all time best tunes. I've seen these guys twice and incredibly great live, a close kin to the old Allman Bros. About time some "real" talent came on the music scene! Thanks for the post

[@1toweringfool]

Yeah man, indeed. Warren Hyanes has been at the top for 20 years.

[@ride2wheeled]

Oh soooo smooth. Love these guys. This is filling me with feelings that money can't buy. Never heard this song or album before, but I'll be playing it from now on and often. Thanks for loving the same music That I do. I only hope that more people might find refuge in sounds like these guys make. Love your show

[@Bigdaddyrocks]

Intense....great!

[@ironrushscorp]

I might take some heat for sayin this, but it's gotta be said:
Warren Haynes is the best thing since SRV

[@brianbourque6352]

I won't argue

[@Wilq59r]

I'd go to their concert any day of the week, anytime

[@1313FLYROD]
