New State of Mind Songtext
von Chase Walker Band

Hey there man in blue
Life and death is not for you to choose
Won′t you take your hand from that gun
Never meant you any harm
Only one of us is armed
Don't you do what cannot be undone

When you live in a world of hate
All around of you people demonstrate
How easy it is to be wrong
Even now as you take your aim
Which of us will be left to blame
The unarmed man or the brutal cop

I am a man with regrets
I may be poor but I do my best
Life can be so unkind
If you could see past
The way I look or the way I dress
Maybe stop being so blind
You might find a new state of mind


Is this the way things are supposed to be
People dying in the streets
Am I just another one
I was a good man before today
Bills and life can get so hard to pay
Living on both sides of the gun

I am a man with regrets
I may be poor but I do my best
Life can be so unkind
If you could see past
The way I look or the way I dress
Maybe stop being so blind
You might find a new state of mind

Hey there man in blue
Nothing left for me to prove
Now your innocence is gone
Desperate times come from desperate men
Guided by a shaking hand
Just one shot and I′m moving on


I was a man with regrets
I was poor but I did my best
Life was so unkind
If you could have seen past
The way I looked or way I dressed
Maybe I would still be alive
I hope you find a new state of mind
