Justified Man

Oh, down by the beggar's wall, there is another land

This is the place I've come to set me free

Just like a fighting man lost in a river

I didn't notice I was blind but now I see



They took a photograph, they heard my story

And then the jury tried and sentenced me

And now I'm sanctified, without resistance

I left my body and I'm gonna let it be



Now I'm standin' on the platform at the station

I hear the engine of the train that takes me there

I ain't lookin' back until I reach my destination



Nobody gonna bring me down

I'm a justified man

Nobody gonna drag my train

I'm a justified man



Inside the hour glass the sand keeps turnin'

Outside my window, falls the rain that washes me

Gone is my fear, need no assistance

And now I'm justified, those days are gone you see



I've been livin' in war of speculation

I stand accused but I ain't goin' anywhere

I ain't lookin' back until I reach my destination



Nobody gonna bring me down

I'm a justified man

Nobody gonna drag my train

I'm a justified man



Now I'm standin' on the platform at the station

I hear the engine of the train that takes me there

I ain't lookin' back until I reach my destination



Nobody gonna bring me down

I'm a justified man

Nobody gonna drag my train

I'm a justified man



Nobody gonna bring me down

I'm a justified man

Nobody gonna drag my train

I'm a justified man



Oh, nobody

Nobody gonna bring me down

I'm a justified man
