Skinny Boy (LP Version)

Ow

Yeah, yeah

When I was a young skinny boy

My mama said to meThe world out there is hard and dirty

Mean as it wants to be

I know there's gonna be times when you're down and out

So listen now kidListen now son

I'll tell you what it's all about

You gotta try to keep your head above the water

That's what my mama told meYou gotta try to keep a step ahead of time

And even though you do some things you shouldn't ought to

Shouldn't ought to

If you love your brothers love will come back to youLove'll come back to you

Love'll come back to you

Love'll come back to you

Lived my life in so many waysTo find out who I am

Time's approaching

I really can say

Truly I understandGot more livin' to do for myself

To run along now

Play along later

Stay up by the shelfSing it girls

Gotta try to keep your head above the water

Yes you do yes you do

You gotta try to keep a step ahead of timeEven though you do some things you shouldn't ought to

If you love your sisters, love will come back to you

Love'll come back to you

Love'll come back to youAll the world is turnin' slow

Slowly it will die

But that is something I never will see

I don't know whyTryin' to take the world the best I can

Write a bit now

Love a bit later

Stand up like a manHey, hey

Gotta try to keep your head above the water

Yes you do yes you do yes you do

Gotta try to keep a step ahead of timeEven though you do some things you shouldn't ought to

Love your brothers and sisters, love'll come back to you

Love'll come back to you

Love'll come back to you
