Junkie Child

(album: Walkin' In The Shadow Of Life - 2004)

Broke and busted
Can't be trusted
Boy it never fails
Can't keep a job
Gotta go our and rob
Gonna wind up in jail

Living tough and running hard
Gonna end up in a graveyard
You still got a chance to take control of your destiny
You can stay locked up or you can break free

Little junkie child
You know mommas worry
Little junkie child
Don't care, same old story
Little junkie child
You can change it, you're fate
Little junkie child
Hurry before it's too late

A junkie's life is a lonely world
Illusions of peace of mind
One's too many and a thousand's not enough

The first high you never never find
Day after day, the same routine
Living in piss stenched halls
That old monkey's acting up again
Gotcha itching', scratching', climbing the wall

Little junkie child
You know mommas worry
Little junkie child
Don't care, same old story
Little junkie child
You can change it, you're free
Little junkie child
Hurry before it's too late

You're standing at the crossroads
Your life flashing before your eyes
Grim reaper waiting for an answer
Do you want to live or do you want to die
