I was just thirteen when they showed me the door

C            G                 Fadd9         C
I keep their picture but don't look at it no more

Sometimes it ain't half of it

Ain't held down no job since 1984

I get by holding up convenience stores

Fadd9           C             Fadd9
I get by on liquor, guns and luck

C            G                 Fadd9         C

I seen my past in everything that I despise

Fadd9                                    C
I've seen my future and I'm scared to close my eyes

Fadd9               C           Fadd9
Is that my ghost that I see in my fears

Fadd9      G             C         Fadd9
Or just my reflection in my Mama's tears
