BACK TO THE DAY

YOUR GOLDEN BOY
BACK BEFORE
YOU WENT AWAY
I REMEMBER
BLUE SKIES
WALKING THE BLOCK
I LOVED IT WHEN YOU
HELD ME HIGH

HEAR YOU TALK
YOU WOULD TAKE ME
TO THE MOVIES
YOU WOULD TAKE ME
TO THE BEACH
TAKE ME TO A
PLACE INSIDE THAT
IS SO HARD TO REACH

THE WORLD
INSIDE YOUR HAND
BUT YOU DID NOT
SEEM TO KNOW
FATHER OF MINE
TELL ME
WHAT DO YOU SEE
WHEN YOU LOOK BACK
AT YOUR WASTED LIFE
AND YOU DON'T SEE ME
I WAS TEN YEARS OLD
DOIN' ALL THAT I COULD
WASN'T EASY FOR ME
TO BE A SCARED
WHITE BOY IN A
BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD
SOMETIMES
YOU WOULD SEND ME
A BIRTHDAY CARD
WITH A FIVE DOLLAR BILL

WEIRD INSIDE
