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 ev`ryone we knew had money 
And driving a car, and driving a car 

Now I`m twenty-one 
The street where I lived is blown up and gone 
And I`ve had a good day crying 
And the world around has changed alot 
I never really gave much more 
Much more then I got, much more then I got
