Lyrics
Some of Us
My mom?s an orphan. And my dad?s an orphan. And I?m an orphan too.
And I like country. And I love Rock and Roll. But I?m a folk singer.
That?s what I do. That?s what I do.
chorus:
We grew up fast and grew up tall but some of us are not that tall.
We grew up good and grew up right but some of us are not that right
We grew up wild and grew up strong but some of us are not that strong
Some of us are not that strong.
See I love baseball and the seventh game of a World Series
And I love to watch the Yankees lose
And I love skinny dipping in clear clean water
With somebody?s daughter and a head full of booze.
Yeah, and if she?s got the blues.
repeat chorus
I sit on my porch and watch ?em. All them freight trains rolling.
I sip a beer and count the cars.
Contemplate an ending with a new moon ascending
And tell my wishes to the stars.
repeat chorus and 1st verse
