T Bone Burnett - Song To A Dead Man lyrics

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
