Crying Shame
When I was a boy my momma used to say
Son don’t you ever let em see you run away
Well I tried to obey the words she said that day
But now I’m rotten and I just can’t get away

My father drifted away, my mother’s dead and gone
My sister died of shame, my brother never came home
I hear the voice of an angel singing my last song
Lord I never thought I would live this long

I never thought I would live this long
And I never thought I’d be this strong
I been running so long I can’t run no more
Lord I been running since the day that I was born
