the red clay strays - killers lyrics

[verse 1]
i was born on a sidewalk in a city i don’t know
in ’65 i took arms and got on a boat
they told me to shoot at wherever i saw smoke
i could not stop laughing, lord, it seemed like a joke
oh, oh
oh, oh

[verse 2]
in ’75 at twenty+five i had me a son
and he died when he was young because of my gun
left out in the open in case i had to run
i could not believe it, neither did anyone
oh, oh
oh, oh

[verse 3]
they found me in shreveport, just me and my knife
they cleaned off my blood and they sent me to life
for thirty years i lay awake in the night
thinkin’ ’bout the jungle and blood and the fight
oh, fight

[verse 4]
then in 2005, i’s let out on the street
a young fifty+five and now that’s where i sleep
i do my best workin’ with a cup and a sign
askin’ folks please spare some change or some time
or some time
oh, some time
[verse 5]
yesterday a young man came and stood at my feet
he asked me what i wanted, i said something to eat
he said k!llers with guns, they belong on the street
i thought about that and i laughed till i cried
that’s the best d+mn joke i’d heard in a long time
a very long time
well, a very long time, time, time
a very long time

lord, a very long time
a very long time
a very long time
