When I...

[Verse 1]
When I...
When I was a boy
Well I was careless and I was foolish and I treated life as if it were a toy
Yeah I was careless and I was foolish and I treated life as if it were a little baby's toy
Oh boy, oh boy

[Verse 2]
But when I...
When I was a man
Well I shoveled off my boyish ways and I set about to learn the best I can
But all the wicked ways of this old world are just so hard to understand
Oh man, oh man

[Chorus]
But if you’re steppin' hard you're bound to make some noise
And if you’re crying well then I hope you're overjoyed
And if you're lacking, let me give you what I have
'Cause I've got your back
On a common path

[Verse 3]
But when I...
When I was in love
Well I would count my blessings daily as it seemed they fell upon me from above
But some how time had tricked me to believing that it just wasn't enough
And I fucked it up

[Chorus]
But if you're steppin' hard you’re bound to make some noise
And if you’re crying well then I hope you're overjoyed
And if you’re lacking, let me give you what I have
'Cause I've got your back
Oh yeah
