Song To A Dead Man Lyrics - T Bone Burnett

When I was a kid, I was really young 

I fell in love and I got stung 

I tried it out and I tried it on 

When I was a kid, I was really young 

When I was a kid everything was new 

I had a lot of friends, I couldn't even get close to 

And I tried so hard that I got confused 

When I was a kid, everything was new 

When I was a kid, I was on my own 

I had a mother and a father, till I was almost grown 

But when I was alone, I was all alone 

When I was a kid, I was on my own 

When I was a kid, I got off the track 

I walked down the road and I never did turn back 

God deliver me from this case in fact 

When I was a kid, I got off the track
