I never had a real good growin'
I never wore no fancy clothes
I always took along my six string
God its the only thing I know
This old life has beat me down
And I work for everything I own
I never failed to see hypocrisy
Oh this old world it takes from me
Now and then I pick up this old six string
It helps me forget about the world
This stage stays so undisturbed
But God its the only thing I know
Oh This old life has beat me down
And I work for everything I own
And I never fail to see hypocrisy
Oh this old world it takes from me
And this old world it takes from me
I said this old world it takes from me
