When I...

When I…
When I was a boy
Well I was careless and I was foolish and I treated life as if it were a toy
Yeah I was careless and I was foolish and I treated life as if it were a little
baby’s toy
Oh boy, oh boy
But when I…
When I was a man
Well I shoveled off my boyish ways and I set about to learn the best I can
But all the wicked ways of this old world are just so hard to understand
Oh man, oh man
But if you’re steppin' hard you’re bound to make some noise
And if you’re crying well then I hope you’re overjoyed
And if you’re lacking, let me give you what I have
'Cause I’ve got your back
On a common path
But when I…
When I was in love
Well I would count my blessings daily as it seemed they fell upon me from above
But some how time had tricked me to believing that it just wasn’t enough
And I fucked it up
But if you’re steppin' hard you’re bound to make some noise
And if you’re crying well then I hope you’re overjoyed
And if you’re lacking, let me give you what I have
'Cause I’ve got your back
Oh yeah
