“The Kid”

(Verse 1)
Daddy wasn’t around
He’d rather chase women in different towns
While carrying a gun
Forgetting about his son

Momma didn’t care
She left me everywhere
Wicked lifestyle
Preacher’s daughter gone plum ass wild

I learned young how to disappear
How to sleep without nobody near
Yeah I know I ain’t normal
But that’s okay
I made it out
Just had to do it the hard way

(Chorus)
I was the boy he forgot
Raised by the love at grandmas house


I come from pain, hard living and scars
From empty driveways and runaway cars
But love can conquer all
Yeah after a great fall


(Verse 2)
Grandma and grandpa
Is the only thing I knew of home and love
From time to time dad would pop up
With some bimbo blonde

From California, Tennessee, Texas
Hell who could remember all his exes
He’d show me some boxing moves
Wearing a black leather biker jacket

Man I hated that guy
But boy he was smooth
I never knew when I would ever see him again
There’d been years in between

I was used to this old scene

(Chorus)
I was the boy he forgot
Raised by love at grandmas house got


I come from pain, hard living and scars
From empty driveways and runaway cars
But love can conquer all
Yeah after a great fall

(Bridge)
Years later on he got right
Started seeing things like God just gave him sight
People go down wrong paths
Without ever looking back

Takes a hell of a man to admit that
And I can finally sit here and say that
Maybe broken blood can still heal
Maybe forgiveness is real

(Final Chorus)
I was the boy he forgot
Now I ain’t chained to that
But love can conquer all
I mean that’s what it’s used for after a great fall
