Intro: I walked in here off the dirty mile swaggered in with a prison style aching bones and dirty feet needing a bed and something to eat I played for you and I played it right I sang in tune and I danced all night I looked at you as the only one I didn't know it could come undone I hit the road when I was fifteen when my mother died and my dad got mean I've been locked up since twenty one I was my mothers only son forgotten most from the early days but I remember what she used to say little boy you're my pride and joy the only good thing about old Fitzroy I feel the walls are falling down around it makes me lower that town somehow I've been drinking all the wrong things all night . I've been thinking about what I've got to do to survive this life
