When I was 10 years old my parents were poor
Our house was so cold
And I was still in school and learning

And then I never really got too far
And everyone we knew had money
And driving a car and driving a car

And I've had a good day crying

And the world around has changed a lot
I never really gave much more
Much more then I got much more then I got
