Tommy Emmanuel Inside Out Lyrics

I'm inside out, outside looking in
no matter where I go, I can't escape my skin
I can act cool, I can act proud
no matter where I go, I'm still alone in the crowd
inside out, on the outside looking in

Well I signed up for the cub scouts I went out for the team
I dressed to dress and I talked to talk of the preppies, jocks and freaks
but that sense of true belonging,
did not belong to me, so I found my place in a fantasy
of how great one day I'd be
I was inside out, on the outside looking in

I'm inside out, outside looking in
no matter where I go, I can't escape my skin
I can act cool, I can act proud
no matter where I go, I'm still alone in the crowd
inside out, on the outside looking in

Well I tried to be in love, when I was much too young
I could not match my actions with the words of my tounge,
So I went through several versions of my cold and hostile mum?, they all swore I was too distant and in the destance they'd be gone
'cause I was inside out, outside looking in

I'm inside out, outside looking in
no matter where I go, I can't escape my skin
I can act cool, I can act proud
no matter where I go, I'm still alone in the crowd
inside out, on the outside looking in

Well I found a great equalizer, a substance quick and warm
made me feel like Wonder-Boy, eloquently at dawn
but that world moderation was for years beyond my speech
there was a timebomb of emotion stuffed inside of me
I was inside out, on the outside looking in

I'm inside out, outside looking in
no matter where I go, I can't escape my skin
I can act cool, I can act proud
no matter where I go, I'm still alone in the crowd
inside out, on the outside looking in
