When I was 10 years old, my parents were poor

Our house was so cold

And I was still in school and learning

And then I never really got too far

And ev'ryone we knew had money

And driving a car, and driving a car

Now I'm twenty-one

The street where I lived is blown up and gone

And I've had a good day crying

And the world around has changed alot

I never really gave much more

Much more then I got, much more then I got
