I was born in Rochester to a book-making man |
| [00:32.93] |
Had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back |
| [00:39.56] |
See them coming and going letting it ride on through breads |
| [00:47.01] |
The police chief and Tom Hall wondering what was spread |
| [00:56.08] |
I carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a little white ball |
| [01:03.42] |
Learned the any soft place wasn't good for me at all |
| [01:10.78] |
Daddy'd come home fired up looking for some sort of release |
| [01:17.82] |
He'd beat the hell of Timmy and Timmy'd beat the hell out of me |
| [01:25.09][02:25.76] |
I would hop the fence out to those government fields |
| [01:33.13][02:33.76] |
Run till there was nothing more to feel |
| [01:40.30][02:41.07] |
Lying there,watching,please just disappear |
| [01:46.93][02:47.32] |
Knowing one day I'm gonna fly on out of here |
| [01:54.92] |
The same police chief came knocking my first freshman day |
| [02:02.65] |
Put my daddy in handchuffs and his picture on the front page |
| [02:09.95] |
Took every one of his suits and all my dignity |
| [02:17.16] |
I'd walk the halls of Irondequoit looking for any punk to set me free |
| [02:56.12] |
Got that call to Vietnam,just like everyone else I knew |
| [03:02.97] |
So scared of the hand grenades,threw them farther than any other troop |
| [03:10.12] |
Came home like an iron fist and Timmy tried to take my keys |
| [03:17.45] |
Ripped open his from pocket that was the last time he touched me |
| [03:26.52] |
Moved to an island out west and up to Breckenridge |
| [03:33.75] |
Met a mermaid on a glass boat and she promised me some kids |
| [03:40.89] |
Bought a house in Oregon where you could touch both of the walls |
| [03:48.09] |
Had a son named Benjamin and I was so scared of it all |
| [04:25.80] |
Well,Benjamin walked in the front room where I was cutting up my hash |
| [04:33.46] |
Looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why I'd been so mad |
| [04:40.51] |
Flushed a quarter pround down the drain,praying for the mercy to confess |
| [04:47.78] |
Trying to rip the boy from Rochester right out of my chest |
| [04:56.96] |
We're gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields |
| [05:04.58] |
Run like there was no more time to steal |
| [05:11.91] |
My three boys and the grace of god revealed |
| [05:18.51] |
Knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here |
