Justin Tubb - Man's Kids lyrics

rate me

(Ronnie Wilkins - John Hurley)

We were such a rowdy bunch and we never thought too much

Of pickin' on the neighbor boy till he cried

He'd run home and tell his paw and his paw would tell my maw

That if he caught us one more time he'd tan our hide.

But Maw's kids were God's kids

And the children couldn't do no wrong in her eyes

She'd say don't stay out tonight but if you do I'll leave a light

And I'll be prayin' for my babies until I die.

Being bad was easy then trouble and temptation came

To tempt us and they'd teach us how to lie

Growing up with all our might right was wrong and wrong was

What we always were till we were home where we'd belong.

Back where Maw's kids were God's kids

And the children couldn't do no wrong in her eyes

She'd say don't stay out tonight but if you do I'll leave a light

And I'll be prayin' for my babies until I die.

Now sister's house is big and tall even though her family's small

And brother's seat in congress's secure

But me I live from day to day with trouble just a step away

How did I go wrong when I was oh so sure.

That Maw's kids were God's kids

And the children couldn't do no wrong in her eyes

She'd say don't stay out tonight but if you do I'll leave a light

And I'll be prayin' for my babies until I die.

Yes, I'll be prayin' for my babies until I die...
