Kerosene Kid

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

I know what it's like growin' up poor

I remember that night walkin' home from the store

Stoppin' every few minutes, sittin' down that jug

Blowin' on my hands tryin' to warm 'em upAnd seein' that other kid from my homeroom class

In that nice warm car as he rode past

And our eyes meetin' like they sometimes did

Readin' my name on his lipsKerosene kid, don't let 'em get you down

Just hold your head up and be proud

Kerosene kid, they don't understand

Everythin' that we got is a gift, kerosene kidI get home with that jug, mama filled up the heater

And those kerosene fumes filled up the trailer

Got all over everythin' like a blanket of dust

On the sheets, on the bed, on the carpet and on usNext mornin' at school in yesterday's clothes

Somebody be laughin', some girl be holdin' her nose

I'd sit there embarrassed, my face turnin' red

Gettin' at her tellin' myselfKerosene kid, don't let 'em get you down

Just hold your head up and be proud

Kerosene kid, they don't understand

Everythin' that we got is a gift, kerosene kidEvery day when I look in the mirror

I can't say enough

About the little man back in my memory

That never gave upKerosene kid, they didn't get you down

You held your head up, you stood proud

Kerosene kid, yeah you understand

Everythin' that you got is a giftKerosene kid, don't let 'em get you down

Hold your head up, stay proud

Kerosene kid, we'll all understand

Everythin' that we got is a gift, kerosene kid

Don't let 'em get you down, kerosene kid

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
