Dog Faced Boy

Coming home from the school today
Crying all along the way
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Begging ma to shave me please
You little punks think you own this town
Well someday someone's gonna bring you down
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
You take back what you said now
That's the last time i cry
You don't know what it is to be a friend now
'til i walk beside you on the street now
Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me
Dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Going back to the school tomorrow
Hang my hairy head in sorrow
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Ain't no way to set me free now
Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me
Dog faced boy
