When I was just a child I didn't know much about ya
When I was just a child I didn't know much about
Oh-oh oh-oh
I had a father that came from nothing
He took that and made it something
He'd seen it all by his 21st
His mum and dad both left this Earth

Why
It was the drinking that killed his mother
He's watching the same thing kill his brother
And he doesn't say it much but he really loves us
Amd he doesn't want the same thing to kill his sons
When he sees me with a drink in my hand
I understand now why he thinks that its bad
He knows its so evil but he know we are our own people so he lets us go

When I was just a child I didn't know mch about ya
Oh-oh-oh-oh
When I was just a child I didn't know much about ya
Oh-Oh-oh-oh
