Live Performances: often played and often used as a set opener

Notes:
The song is about Shannon's experiences in drug rehabilitation.

If you listen carefully at the beginning of the song right after the intro (after the words "you know I try...") you can hear Shannon whisper into the microphone "Get me out of here, Get me out of here Man, Get me out of here."

The video of the song was filmed in Brad and Roger's home state of Mississippi in the front yard of one of their friends.  The muddy people in the video were friends of the band.

This picture is from the video for this song:

Lyrics:
All along the broadening skies
Under thee every night I lie
Scratch and claw and grip the rails
Every day in my living hell
Oh god you know I try
I know how hard I try
You know I try
(Shannon whispers "Get me out of here, get me out of here Man, get me out of here")
Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place no one has known
In a state of mind I could call
Mine, that only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime
I choose, and theres no such
Thing as time
Where I can feel no pain just
Calm and sane, what a place
For one to find
Now ya see I'm watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
Why won't they leave me be?
Why am I even here? I wonder
You leave me wondering
Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me
Now in my corner I got the celing in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees, and rocking
Back and forths my life
I didn't mean to feel this way when
I walked into the door, lord
Then they ripped away my memories
And I can't remember who I was before
I only wanted to be sixteen and free
