Story Of Me

Song Lyrics

When I was a young boy of maybe three or four

Life was good and nothing less and nothing more.

My Ma loved me and though my dad was barely home,

I see more of him in me now that I have grown.

 

Used to play in the backyard climbing trees.

Had desires, the fire was wild and free.

Building mud cakes, hot summer, milkshakes.

Oh I was blessed to be me.

 

And as I grew older, stronger and bolder

Spread my wings and learnt to fly.

Had my own kids and got busy living

With my woman by my side.

It’s been a heck of a road, this car never slowed,

Always driving fast at the limit!

But trust me when I say,

wouldn’t trade a single day of this story…

With me in it.

 

With the passing seasons I found a million reasons

To get pissed off at the Lord above.

Thought I was a big man, always took a big stand.

Never backed down when push came to shove.

 

And as I grew older, stronger and bolder

Spread my wings and learnt to fly.

Had my own kids and got busy living

With my woman by my side.

It’s been a heck of a road, this car never slowed,

Always driving fast at the limit!

But trust me when I say,

wouldn’t trade a single day of this story…

With me in it.

Went to church, went to mosque,

Tried to find what I had lost…

Found the truth deep inside.

Blood’s thicker than water,

Life could always be shorter.

Nothing matters when you see the light!

 

And as I grew older, stronger and bolder

Spread my wings and learnt to fly.

Had my own kids and got busy living

With my woman by my side.

It’s been a heck of a road, this car never slowed,

Always driving fast at the limit!

But trust me when I say,

wouldn’t trade a single day of this story…

With me in it.
