| See you don’t know what it’s like to be a man in the world
|
| And be scared to lose everything
|
| See you don’t know what its like to build a life from nothing
|
| And be scared to lose everything
|
| I bet that’s not what you said back then
|
| And don’t sing your blues to me
|
| You have no right…
|
| By the time I was old enough to run
|
| Momma couldn’t move and Dad was gone
|
| So she sat me in a room alone to watch TV
|
| By the time I went to school I had no friends
|
| I didn’t even know how to play with kids
|
| They would all run around, and I would just sit alone
|
| And do you know what its like to cry yourself to sleep at night at the age of
|
| six
|
| And seven
|
| And eight
|
| And nine
|
| And ten
|
| And eleven
|
| And twelve |
