cary swinney - when i was a kid كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
when i was a kid
the old man would cuss like a sailor
he’d take the old lady and beat her
when i was a kid

[verse 2]
when i was a kid
the old man would get drunk in rye town
stumble and stink and fall down
when i was a kid

[chorus]
and the west texas weather would change with each dawn
there were days i would wake and i’d wish he were gone
i’d peek towards the kitchen and see him sittin’ there
below a sixty_watt light bulb with dirt in his hair
my old man had dirt in his hair

[verse 3]
when i was a kid
mama found refuge in church pews
where asking for forgiveness was not new
when i was a kid

[verse 4]
when i was a kid
mama would sit on the porch swing
she’d pray and then cry—it was routine
when i was a kid
[chorus]
and the west texas weather would change with each dawn
there were days i would wake and i’d wish he were gone
i’d peek towards the kitchen and see him sittin’ there
below a sixty_watt light bulb with that stone cold stare
like there was evil in the air

[instrumental break]

[verse 5]
when i was a kid
we’d dig through the trash cans to find things
selling pop bottles for ice cream
when i was a kid

[verse 6]
when i was a kid
the old man would beat us for stealin’
then take all our money for drinkin’
when i was a kid

[chorus]
and the west texas weather would change with each dawn
there were days i would wake and i’d wish he were gone
i’d peek towards the kitchen at that son of a b_tch
the drool on the stubble and the stink of the stench
that old whiskey stench
[verse 7]
and now i’m a man
i take the old lady and beat her
i rant and i rave like some sailor
’cause i
i’m a man
