Cold Feet Lyrics

Cover art for Cold Feet lyrics by Tracy Chapman

A guy grows up in a loving household, yet there was never quite as much money as the family needed. He grows up to be a honest and hard worker. He meets a woman, but doesn't think he is good enough for her. He wants to buy her the "best things in life." He falls into a dangerous "get rich quick" lifestyle (of crime?) and winds up dead. Yet another great warning by Tracy Chapman.
