Skid Row Kid |
| I got hit, I got hurt |
| Everybody used to dish me dirt |
| To the skinny little kid who’d hang around on the block. |
| It was hard, it was rough |
| At seventeen, I’d saved enough |
| To get an education, worked my way to the top. |
| I was a skid row kid from Alabam |
| Born and raised down in Birmingham |
| Where the roof leaked bad and the crust was all we had to eat. |
| But I’m a big shot now, fancy jet, |
| Making deals with the president |
| Well, I’m a kid made here |
| But down inside I’m just a skid row kid. |
| Ahhh. |
| .. |
| I make the law of the land |
| At 25 I made my first stand to represent the people |
| Who’d been down for so long. |
| I got votes here and there |
| At 31, they made me mayor |
| I may sit behind this desk |
| But I can’t forget where I came from. |
| I was a skid row kid from Alabam |
| Born and raised down in Birmingham |
| Where the roof leaked bad and the alligators snapped at my feet. |
| But I’m a big shot now with a fancy jet |
| Well, I may run for president. |
| (This is the White House — come right in.) |
| Well, I’m kid made here |
| But down inside I’m just a skid row kid, yeah |
| A kid made here but down inside I’m just a skid row. |
| .. kid. |
| Birmingham, Alabam |
| That’s down south of everybody |
| Birmingham, Alabama |
| I got a big black Cadillac |
