The Kid



Lyrics

Your mother died night you were born
her name you never knew
look away
look away
nothing to loose

left east tenneessee at fourteen
wonderd to the west
look away
look away
born into death

you fought the salors in New Orleans
you worked the flat boats and walked the streets
hit Nachdogdes in '49
and there you saw the devil for the very first time


kid don; t you know me
we are the last of the true
drink up drink up
drink up drink up
cause tonight your souls required of you

Signed on with a stone mad captian rode on mexico
look away
look away
war behold
jailed with killers one and all but we were killers free
look away
look away
look to me
