Another night in this old town
Sometimes growin' up can only bring you down
Sometimes I sit, I wonder
Sometimes I scream as loud as thunder
Little brother don't you know I'm a man
They might think I'm just a boy
But they don't understand
These city streets, they tell me stories about busted dreams and faded glory
No one seems to understand
They tell me walk, don't run, the time will find you
Walk, don't run and your heart will guide you to
Walk, don't run, they say growing up it just ain't so much fun
I feel like a loaded gun
They say don't run
My mom and dad work every day
Just to keep shoes on our feet they slaved their lives away
Grandpa had to do the same, it took him to an early grave
Call me a rebel, say the boy don't think
I'm old enough to fight for my country
I ain't old enough for a drink
And I'm not a pawn, I can't play their game
But Poppa I'm proud just to wear your name
Then he held out his hand, he said I understand
But remember walk, don't run, the time will find you
Walk, don't run and your heart will guide you to
Walk, don't run, just walk, don't run
