Boxed In

(Mississippi Delta Blues Style)

[Verse 1]

Woke up this morning, walls closing in,
Feel like I'm drowning, don't know where I've been.
Ceiling's gettin' lower, floor's cold as stone,
This prison in my mind won't leave me alone.

[Chorus]

I'm boxed in, nowhere left to run,
Can't find a window, can't find the sun.
Boxed in, gotta break these chains,
Gotta find my freedom, shake off this pain.

[Verse 2]

Tried to shout, but no voice came out,
Feels like silence is what life's about.
Doors keep closin', keys thrown away,
Trapped in yesterday, livin' day to day.

[Chorus]

I'm boxed in, no air to breathe,
Got a hunger for freedom burning in me.
I'm boxed in, but I'm fightin' to break free,
Lord, lift these chains, set me free.

[Bridge] (Guitar Solo – Slide guitar blues style)

Dm - G7 - Dm - A7
Dm - G7 - Dm - A7

[Verse]

Lookin' out the window, storm rollin' by,
Thunder in my heart, tears in my eyes.
Gotta break free, shake off these chains,
Find some sunshine beyond these gray skies.

[Chorus]

I'm boxed in, searching for a door,
Need to break free, can't live here no more.
Boxed in, my soul cryin' loud,
Got to find my way, gotta break out now.

[Outro]

Dm - G7 - Dm - A7 (fade out)
Boxed in, boxed in, Lord, help me now...
