Once I was a little kid
A little kid but now I’m silent
Once I was a little kid
But now I’m cold

It wasn’t what my mama did
What my mama did when I was younger
It wasn’t what my mama did
My mama did what she was told

It wasn’t what my daddy said
My daddy never said I’m sorry
It wasn’t what my daddy said
My daddy never said, “I’m wrong”

Now I’ve got it in my head
Inside my head as I lie here
awake in my cold and lonely bed
Inside my head as I grow old

Once I was a little kid
A little kid and now I suffer
from something I think you did
To me sometime when I was young
