Child Of A Troubled Man
I was born on the wrong side of the tracks
And I grew up always watching my back
I had to scrap and fight more than a time or two
Judge all you want, cause in God’s eyes
I am no different than you

I went to school with holes in both of my shoes
And I never owned a single dress that was new
I was called that dirty kid more than a time or two
Judge all you want cause in God’s eyes I am no different than you

Sticks and stones can break my bones
But those haunting hurtful words could not destroy me,
And when you hear me sing this song
You’ll remember how you tried hard to ignore me
Bless the child of troubled man

Daddy earned his pay and drank it all away
Momma held me tight and taught me how to pray
Thought I wouldn’t make it through more than a time or two
Judge all you want cause in God’s eyes I am no different than you

Sticks and stones can break my bones
But those haunting hurtful words could not destroy me,
And when you hear me sing this song
You’ll remember how you tried hard to ignore me
Bless the child of troubled man


Bless the child of troubled man
Bless the child of troubled man
