'twas twenty years ago <br />when things went well ya know <br />I beat against the flow <br /> <br /> <br />'twas feeling like being me <br />not like other folks ya see <br />but it was me ya know <br />cause I beat against the flow <br /> <br /> <br />Life was hard and alone <br />my friend, a dog and bone <br />and the only place to go <br />was to beat against the flow <br /> <br /> <br />So to be yourself down here <br />the wind will blow ya dear <br />up a river called Life ya row <br />and the way is hard 'cause lo <br />ya beat against the flow<br /><br />S.W.
