[00:00.00]Kerosene Kid - Jimmy Wayne
[00:17.06]I know what it's like
[00:18.17]
[00:18.76]Growing up poor
[00:19.54]
[00:20.28]I remember that night
[00:21.28]
[00:21.88]Walking home from the store
[00:23.31]
[00:24.06]Stopping every few minutes
[00:25.34]
[00:26.12]Sitting down that jug
[00:27.43]
[00:28.51]Blowing on my hands
[00:29.73]Trying to warm them up
[00:31.02]
[00:31.66]And seeing that other
[00:33.18]Kid from my homeroom class
[00:34.72]
[00:35.81]In that nice warm car
[00:37.01]
[00:37.66]As he rode past
[00:38.60]
[00:39.38]And our eyes meeting
[00:40.71]
[00:41.48]As they sometimes did
[00:42.47]
[00:43.63]Reading my name on his lips
[00:45.44]
[00:46.80]Kerosene kid
[00:47.30]
[00:48.90]Don't let 'em get you down
[00:50.23]
[00:51.21]Just hold your head up
[00:52.94]And be proud
[00:53.61]
[00:54.43]Kerosene kid
[00:54.87]
[00:56.59]They don't understand
[00:57.38]
[00:58.54]Everything that we got is a gift
[01:00.81]
[01:02.22]Kerosene kid
[01:02.63]
[01:10.28]I get home with that jug
[01:12.06]Mama filled up the heater
[01:13.26]
[01:14.35]And those kerosene
[01:15.17]
[01:16.17]Fumes filled up the trailer
[01:17.34]
[01:18.18]Got all over everything
[01:19.06]
[01:19.69]Like a blanket of dust
[01:20.84]
[01:21.61]On the sheets on the bed
[01:23.49]On the carpet and on us
[01:24.92]
[01:26.14]Next morning at school
[01:27.10]
[01:27.61]In yesterday's clothes
[01:28.69]
[01:29.65]Somebody be laughing
[01:30.40]
[01:31.14]Some girl be holding her nose
[01:32.46]
[01:33.49]I'd sit there embarrassed
[01:34.52]
[01:35.11]My face turning red
[01:36.15]
[01:37.25]Getting at her telling myself
[01:38.62]
[01:40.46]Kerosene kid
[01:41.43]
