Resurrection Band Album: Innocent Track: Child Of The Blues
Child Of The Blues Lyrics
I grew up in a welfare state Where the winters were cold And the checks came late With hand-me down clothes And a hole in my heart It seemed nothin' could fill A child of the blues
Mamma was lonely She left us at night She said "You be good!" An' locked door tight But I couldn't sleep For wonderin' if she would return 'Cause sometimes you lose
Mama was cryin' When the sheriff came in Like bein' on welfare Is some kinda sin All of your things Tossed out in the street wish I knew what to do But it ain't no use
They said that we're lazy Ignorant poor We get there too late They locked up the door The shelter is warm But it sure ain't no home Is this payin' your dues? Child of the blues
