Music: The Avett Brothers/Scott Yancey Avett/Timothy Seth Avett/Robert William Jr Crawford (Mate) There ain't no man can save me There ain't no man can enslave me Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in There ain't nobody here Who can cause me pain or raise my fear 'Cause I got only love to share If you're looking for truth, I'm proof you'll find it there You got to serve something, ain't that right? I know it gets dark, but there's always a light You don't have to buy in to get into the club Trade your worries You gotta show up if you wanna be seen If it matters to you, ma, it matters to me And I'm going to fall hard, yeah I know I am When the clowns crack up, I laugh with them
