Another night in this old town

Sometimes growin up can only bring you down

Sometimes I sit, I wonder

Sometimes I scream as loud as thunder

Little brother dont you know Im a man

They might think Im just a boy

But they dont understand

These city streets, they tell me stories about busted dreams and faded glory

No one seems to understand,



They tell me walk, dont run, the time will find you

Walk, dont run and your heart will guide you to

Walk, dont run, they say growing up it just aint so much fun

I feel like a loaded gun

They say dont run



My mom and dad work every day

Just to keep shoes on our feet they slaved their lives away

Grandpa had to do the same, it took him to an early grave

Call me a rebel, say the boy dont think

Im old enough to fight for my country

I aint old enough for a drink

And Im not a pawn, I cant play their game

But Poppa Im proud just to wear your name

Then he held out his hand, he said I understand



But remember walk, dont run, the time will find you

Walk, dont run and your heart will guide you to

Walk, dont run, just walk, dont run
