about

A little reggae action for the masses. This song is about thinking outside of the box and not being condemned to our own upbringing. Recorded live at the French Quarter Cafe in Nashville, TN.

lyrics

don't want to be anybody's concubine
don't want to trapped here by this space and time
don't want to be rescued
I sure as hell don't want to drown
life is like a window and
you know I've been looking through it
never thought to ask myself
what would happen if I climbed through it

to the world outside
there's a world outside
I'm tired of being stuck on the inside

ricki was an ugly girl
she walked home from school everyday
she never stopped to ask herself
if things might go her way
then one day a lightbulb flashed
right before her very eyes
she said I don't got to to live like that
and I ain't got to compromise

to the world outside
there's a world outside
and I'm tired of being stuck on the inside

well ricki was a brave young girl
she packed that very day
she dropped out of school
she went on her own way
she climbed out her window
she never looked back
to her mama's broken heart
or her daddy's love shack

there's a world outside
there's a world outside
and I'm tired of being stuck on the inside

so I've told myself
time and time again
babe–ya know, I don't want to live like this
so where should I begin
maybe I'll climb out my window tonight
and I'll meet up with ricki
and she'll show me the lights of the inner city

and the world outside
there's a world outside
and I'm tired of being stuck on the inside
