Kerosene Kid
Lyricist:Don Sampson, Jimmy Wayne
I know what it's like growin' up poor I remember that night walkin' home from the store Stoppin' every few minutes, sittin' down that jug Blowin' on my hands tryin' to warm 'em up
And seein' that other kid from my homeroom class In that nice warm car as he rode past And our eyes meetin' like they sometimes did Readin' my name on his lips
Kerosene kid, don't let 'em get you down Just hold your head up and be proud Kerosene kid, they don't understand Everythin' that we got is a gift, kerosene kid
I get home with that jug, mama filled up the heater And those kerosene fumes filled up the trailer Got all over everythin' like a blanket of dust On the sheets, on the bed, on the carpet and on us
Next mornin' at school in yesterday's clothes Somebody be laughin', some girl be holdin' her nose I'd sit there embarrassed, my face turnin' red Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Gettin' at her tellin' myself
Kerosene kid, don't let 'em get you down Just hold your head up and be proud Kerosene kid, they don't understand Everythin' that we got is a gift, kerosene kid
Every day when I look in the mirror I can't say enough About the little man back in my memory That never gave up
Kerosene kid, they didn't get you down You held your head up, you stood proud Kerosene kid, yeah you understand Everythin' that you got is a gift
Kerosene kid, don't let 'em get you down Hold your head up, stay proud Kerosene kid, we'll all understand Everythin' that we got is a gift, kerosene kid Don't let 'em get you down, kerosene kid
