Motherless Child

I got no name no fame no fortune I'll take the blame just not the whole portion I ain't the same since you came and claimed I wasn't thinkin' Sayin' there might be more to this life than just smokin' and drinkin' Blow for my nose beer for my gut Can't find my keys I'm too drunk to see I had enough Over and over smoked myself sober as a judge Sayin' habits like these hang around like nursin' a grudge Motherless child runnin' so wild There's hurdles and trials failure and denial Motherless kid look what they did Learn for yourself how to love and to live Lord I'm unhingin" and bingin' in sin Drift on a raft but it's only the size of a pin Kill or be killed the city or the hills of today All the way from New York City on through to LA Motherless child where is your smile You sport it for miles but it ain't your style Motherless kid ran and you hid Learn for yourself how to love and to live Here I am ramblin' and gamblin' in shambles again Riskin' the biscuit I shouldn't be fixin' to spend Lord I keep cussin' and hustlin' and bustlin' to death So much for findin' true love and catchin' my breath Motherless child runnin' so wild There's hurdles and trials failure and denial Motherless kid look what they did Learn for yourself how to love and to live hunterroot.com #singersongwriter #acoustic #country #folk #original #song
