Lyrics

When you’re older, you feel something
When you’re young you can’t feel a thing
I’ve started lots of fires, but I learned from them
The Baker brothers said I wasn’t dirty enough , they wanted to hang me from a tree
I’ve got this number on my chest, it didn’t fail because of me

Warden, damn right, I moved those bags around
Warden, you locked me up, to keep those pitchforks in the ground

When you’re hurting, you’ll blame anything
They wanted to string me up the Bayview Bridge
Webster haunts me every single day of my life,
It’s what gave me this sentence
I never claimed that I was perfect, I’ve stumbled and drank my share and ten
But when the newsman asked for sandbaggers, I was there to do my penance

Warden, a better man would have put the bottle down
Warden, I tried my best, there’s no redemption in this town

One day soon these walls, will crumble into debris
Take what fight the cancer couldn’t, from me
They said Rudy was a ghost, Suzy is gone, and I’m a memory
Mississippi sunset in my mind, it’s all I’ll see

Quincy, when I was young, I know I let you down
Quincy, my heart broke watching my home town city drown
