and drinking burning liquor

like my Daddy before me

Something about that glory,

just always seemed to bore me,
Cause only those I really love
D
will ever really know me

my story got told,

before the morning sun, when life was lonely.

my woman brought children for me

And some I had to leave behind

my brother I´m still sorry
[Chorus 7]

or will I have a lot of children
who can warm me
