Song to a Dead Man

When I was a kid
I was really young
I fell in love
And I got stung
I tried it out
And I tried it on
When I was a kid
I was really young

When I was a kid
Everything was new
I had a lot of friends
I couldn't even get close to
And I tried so hard
That I got confused
When I was a kid
Everything was new

When I was a kid
I was on my own
I had a mother and a father
Til I was almost grown
But when I was alone
I was all alone
When I was a kid
I was on my own

When I was a kid
I got off the track
I walked down the road
And I never did turn back
God deliver me
From this case in fact
When I was a kid
I got off the track
