“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
