Five years old with a smile on my face

Mommas in the kitchen

Daddys playin' bass downtown

Downtown



Dad walks in says Sherry my girl we need to talk

Remember that night with John boy

Well you know I saw it all and I was scared for the first time



Well then one thing led to another and left my mom down on the floor

Dad said once you had everything but you chose to be a whore

So we're gone, gone to the next town

Oh my friends we were gone just like that



Well it's been seventeen years since I've seen my mom

Five years for my dad and I hear he's tryin' to get a job downtown yet again



If it weren't for my grandad I wouldn't be standin here today

All the years he spent pushin me sayin boy go on and do your thing downtown

Make me proud son

Oh and here I am I'm playin downtown



Five years old with a smile on my face

Mommas in the kitchen

Daddys playin' bass downtown
