I was a tuff kid
|
Yeah I was a tuff kid
|
It took a lot to get me on my knees
|
I had a hard time
|
Yeah I had a hard time
|
Just ask somebody if you don't believe me.
|
|
My mama had me
|
But she didn't get me
|
I guess I broke her at the age of 5
|
My daddy hit me
|
But he couldn't quit me
|
We showed each other how to feel alive
|
|
Say hey everybody at the old school yard
|
Took it all the way and we took it hard
|
Did a lot of things make you feel alright
|
Said the kind of things keep you up at night.
|
|
It was a small town
|
And it didn't fit me
|
There wasn't anything that I could do
|
So I found a guitar
|
And I took it with me
|
Just like every single kid I knew.
|
|
We say hey everybody at the old schoolyard
|
Took it all the way and we took it hard
|
Did the kind of things make you feel alright
|
Said the kind of things keep you up at night.
