Used to be younger, out on the hard streets,
Gettin' high on crystal, drinkin' scotch and smokin' weed,
G5 D5 C5 x &(D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D4)&
Daddy's wish used to be nothin' less than my command,
%G5 D5 C5 &(D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D4)&%
Took to a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross with both hands,
xE5 A5 E5 A5 x
Momma couldn't give me the thing a young boy needs,
Instead of momma sufferin' she was smart enough to leave,
%G5 & D5 & C5 &(D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D4)&
Spent my life fightin' tryin' to stay free,
From trials and tribulation and the state penitantory,
E5
(oh, i know)

I suppose really lookin' cool, just makin' both ends meet,
Until that day i saw you walkin', down Blue Angel Street,
G5 D5 C5 &D&
The sweetest lies of lily white, comin' from you lips,
You brush away all my pain, with a lazy finger tip!
E5 A5 E5 A5
It moves my heart just watchin', the way you walk so smooth,
you save me from an evil fate, you steal 'way my blues,
G5 D5 C5 & D5 &

Goin' down that graveyard spiral, there was nothin' I could do,
Life treated me much harder, ?than me'in' an ole corkscrew?
