I see my reflection in this old corner store
Grabs my attention, I just cannot ignore
How the years they have marked me with the face of a ghost
How the law just might catch me and that's what scares me the most
Was raised in these mountains, not a dime to my name
What happened to Poppa people say was a shame
He labored deep down in the belly of the earth
Got swallowed up whole on the day of my birth
Some things just don't make sense
Why wasn't I given a chance?
I'll never understand why I had no place in God's plan
Was I just simply dealt a bad hand?
Momma she took up with a man to get by
Who left her with bruises and me a blind eye
Though barely a man you know I did what I could
To stop him from hurtin I put him down in those woods
Some things just don't make sense
Why wasn't I given a chance?
I'll never understand why I had no place in God's plan
Was I just simply dealt a bad hand?
I see my reflection in this old corner store
And the men right behind me here to even the score
The moon and the stars I saw them fall from the sky
As every man's time comes I guess it's my time to die
