Worth Water

You lost your daddy when you were a little boy

You ran with all the wrong crowd

So young and full of anger

You compensate by being loud

You cut your hair in the way

You're momma asked you not to

You turned sixteen and you were so proud

You went and got your first tattoo

Brother I hope you find some peace tonight

This world ain't been kind to you

Brother I hope you find some peace tonight

God knows it's hell that you've been through

How long can one man seek

And never find security

You never had one dollar to your name

Just a handshake and poetry

You carried around a broken heart

You never wanted anyone to see

You were always more than a junkie to me

You were one of my family

Brother I hope you find some peace tonight

This world ain't been kind to you

Brother I hope you find some peace tonight

God knows it's hell that you've been through

I'm sorry I couldn't see you one last time

Truth be told it's better this way

I didn't want to see you laying down there

Cause them ain't your eyes anymore

I'd rather think of you riding off into the sunset

Riding a horse you probably stole

A tip of your hat and wink from your eye

You ride off into that prairie sky

Brother I hope you find some peace tonight

This world ain't been kind to you

Brother I hope you find some peace tonight

God knows it's hell that you've been through
