When I was a child I spent hours in the back of a Dark Greyhound bus When I was a child I heard ma father curse the witch The neighborhood punchboard I squeezed my eyes shut really tight Whenever I drove by the cemetery at night But during the day I drank whiskey and smoked cigarettes In the same cemetery that scared the shit out of me at night When I was a child Afraid to go in the basement Scared of what was hiding in the dark When I was a child I had a father Who never knew me or saw me grow up
