Gene Watson - Someone's Child lyrics

He stands in the rain begging for change as people pa** him by And once in a while, he'll get a nod or a smile with nickels & dimes But when the sun goes down in his part of town & cold wind blows He'll find his way in the dark to a bench in the park where no one knows Someone used to rock him on their knee And when he's cry, they'd sing him lullabies till he was fast asleep They say he had his daddy's eyes, his momma's smile Oh, they loved him so, but that was long ago when he was someone's child The word on the street was he had a degree & a big house in LA But when it comes to his past, don't bother to ask cause he's got nothing to say People frown & put him down, no one seems to care That that's one of us down on his luck standing there Someone used to rock him on their knee And when he's cry, they'd sing him lullabies till he was fast asleep They say he had his daddy's eyes, his momma's smile Oh, they loved him so, but that was long ago when he was someone's child Then the flashing lights light up the night & the sirens scream And as he breaths his last breath, he drops a photograph that no one's seen They say he had his daddy's eyes, his momma's smile Oh, they loved him so, but that was long ago when he was someone's child
