[Verse 1] I was born on a sidewalk in a city I don't know In '65 I took arms and got on a boat They told me to shoot at wherever I saw smoke I could not stop laughing, Lord, it seemed like a joke Oh, oh Oh, oh
[Verse 2] In '75 at twenty-five I had me a son And he died when he was young because of my gun Left out in the open in case I had to run I could not believe it, neither did anyone Oh, oh Oh, oh
[Verse 3] They found me in Shreveport, just me and my knife They cleaned off my blood and they sent me to life For thirty years I lay awake in the night Thinkin' 'bout the jungle and blood and the fight Oh, fight
[Verse 4] Then in 2005, I's let out on the street A young fifty-five and now that's where I sleep I do my best workin' with a cup and a sign Askin' folks please spare some change or some time Or some time Oh, some time
[Verse 5] Yesterday a young man came and stood at my feet He asked me what I wanted, I said something to eat He said killers with guns, they belong on the street I thought about that and I laughed till I cried That's the best damn joke I'd heard in a long time A very long time Well, a very long time, time, time A very long time
Lord, a very long time A very long time A very long timeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
