lyrics

No time for fun
Got married young
In those days that’s just how it was done
And by twenty-five
3 kids and a wife
And worked day and night to provide

Pop could have run when he had the chance
But he was a stronger man

Gave me the tools
Showed me the way
And still I went astray
No honor amongst thieves
and the hypocrites laugh
as this lonely fool crawls on back

But I was no victim of circumstance
I was a lesser man

Grant me the strength
Give me the cause
Lay down my burdens, Lord
Cause it’s been so long
since I’ve sung your song
Thought myself too far gone

But no grace exists if not by your hands
Make me a better man
