Birthdays

When I was

Seventeen years old

I was - so out of control

I just - didn’t know my role in life

When I was

Twenty years old

I was - always out on my own

I had - to make my own advice

When I was

Twenty one years old

I was - pulled over in a car I stole

I learned that night, all about my rights

When I was

Twenty five years old

I was - so drunk and a fight unfolds

But I was - never one to back down from a fight

When I was

Thirty years old

I was - released from parole

And I - still don’t know my role in life

But I said -

Take me away baby now

Take me away (away)

Take me away baby now

Back to where I’m coming from

They said

Take him away baby now

Take him away (away)

Take him away baby now

Back to where he’s coming from.
