Born on the Streets of Heartache

Message came right before midnight

Hung up the phone walked down the hall

Kissed my babies goodnight

In my mind I will live that life over and over again

Cause I was born on the streets of heartache

Yes I was born on the streets of heartache

I came to know the man I was twenty-three

I could never bring myself to call him pop he was just Frank to me

I was my father’s only son but the blood runs thin sometimes

I’ll drink the water from the well but man I ain’t drinking wine

Nobody walks straight in this life

The sins I’m paying for ain’t mine

As a boy I remember when my mother took me by the hand

Led me from town to town said I hope you understand

I’d like to make a home for you, settle down somewhere

See your daddy’s waiting for us I’m going to find him I swear
