Evicted Boy

One day a man knocked on the door
Said "You don't own this house anymore”
To explain it to a layman,
You didn’t make your payment,
Now you’ve got ‘til 8 to pack your things and go

Mama cried “Don’t take my last gold dollar, It’s just me and my young ones in this holler.” Can’t take no rearranging,
Cuz life keeps on changing,
Don’t leave these boys without a home

Who rolled the dice for the life that I was given? Why do the precious moments fly so fast? Mama always told us that life moves on,
And try not to hold onto the past

We loaded all we had into our rusty car, Mama’s final savings didn't take us very far. With no way to get by,
As tears filled her eyes,
She left us with some folks I didn’t know

Who rolled the dice for the life that I was given? Why do the precious moments fly so fast? Mama always told us that life moves on,
And try not to hold onto the past

That was the last time I saw mother,
Some nights I ponder if she remembers me or brother... Though now I am a man
I still can’t understand
Why the ones we love do the things they do

Who rolled the dice for the life that I was given? Why do the precious moments fly so fast? Mama always told us that life moves on,
And try not to hold onto the past
