| You know… former shoeshine boy from a very, very poor family
|
| My father, that worked hard all his life
|
| And we «moved from pillar to post», is what the people used to say
|
| Never really had home
|
| I can… as far back as I can remember, it was always renting
|
| Paying another cash bills, and never really paying home
|
| And this is a… tune, I guess probably mean more to me
|
| Than anything, that uh… I’ve ever been involved in
|
| And I figured that I should come back and really, really sing it
|
| With all the success I’ve had, and as good as people have been to me
|
| I wanna show them, that I still have
|
| My real heart, my real soul, my real feelin'
|
| But when you start doing things with people, you um…
|
| Hesitance to keep it up and, and love what you’re doing
|
| Because you know you’re doing something good, to say
|
| As God looked down on you and smiled
|
| And uh… I always look back and say, you know
|
| «I've done something good»
|
| So I wanna get the fellas started off here…
|
| That, and all the fellas in that control room
|
| And it makes me feel good, start it off fellas, kick it off
