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, till 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
