Align:    
  • I was born.
  • An only child.
  • On a warm,
  • Jersey night.
  • My mother was a dress maker.
  • My father drove a truck.
  • My family never was much good.
  • When it came to money luck.
  • No.
  • Me and my best frend took to stealin'
  • When we where only sixteen.
  • Then one year in a county jail.
  • Made a man outa Tommy and me.
  • We caught the train to New York.
  • We thought we where so tough.
  • Started fightin' for quick cash.
  • We decided we didn't need money that bad.
  • We where the runaway children.
  • Always lost in the dark.
  • Trying to forget where we came from.
  • Trying to make a new start.
  • Oh, it was so hard.
  • Earned my first honest dollar.
  • Working at the mill out side of town.
  • Tommy went elsewhere.
  • Never did like the sound of a poor man crying.
  • So Tommy got mixed up with people.
  • The kinda people you just don't get mixed up with.
  • And they beat him so badly.
  • He almost didn't live.
  • To regret it, but he did.
  • Oh, thank god he did.
  • We where the runaway children.
  • Still lost in the dark.
  • Trying to forget where we came from.
  • Trying to make a new start.
  • Oh, but it was so hard.
  • Oh, it was.
  • It was just so hard.
  • Tommy moved eight years ago.
  • Out to Las Vegas.
  • Now he sweeps the floors in the casino's.
  • Though he gambles when hes able.
  • When will he ever learn?
  • When will he ever learn?
  • And me, i went back home.
  • Oh' and i made it just in time.
  • To say im sorry for what i'd done.
  • Right before my mother died.
  • Now i drive a truck.
  • Just like i swore i never would.
  • But i need the money worse than i need the luck.
  • I know my old man just did the best that he could,
  • With what he had.
  • Its funny the things we finaly learn how to add, up.
  • We where just runaway children.
  • We where lost in the dark.
  • Trying to forget where we came from.
  • Oh, but we never.
  • We never made it that far.
  • Never made it that far.
  • Oh it was still so hard.
  • It was still so hard.
