My old man, he sailed away

By a boat upon the sea

My mother held her head high

And smiled down on me

She said, "Boy, get wise

Work harder, do something with your nights

Look smarter

I promise you it's better days ahead"

aooooooooo

And you, you were my friend

When I had nothing to my name

When all the world turned on me

You still treated me the same

And we've been through hell, you and me

Caught drama

Girl tragedy, oh brother

I promise you it's better days ahead

Talk to me, now.
