When I was just a child I didn't know much about ya
When I was just a child I didn't know much about
oh-oh oh-oh
I had a father that came from nothing,
he took that and made it something,
he'd seen it all by his 21st,
his mum and dad both left this Earth,
why,
it was the drinking that killed his mother,
he's watching the same thing kill his brother,
and he doesn't say it much but he really loves us,
amd he doesn't want the same thing to kill his sons,
when he sees me with a drink in my hand,
I understand now why he thinks that its bad,
he knows its so evil but he know we are our own people so he lets us go.
