4 + 20 - Live Version

Lyrics

Four and twenty years ago I come into this life
 The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife
 He was tired of bein' poor and he wasn't into sellin' door to door
 And he worked like the devil to be more
 ♪
 A different kind of poverty now upsets me so
 Night after sleepless night I walk the floor and want to know
 ♪
 Why am I so alone? Where is my woman? Can I bring her home?
 Have I driven her away? Is she gone?
 ♪
 Mornin' comes the sunrise and I'm driven to my bed
 I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head
 I embrace the many colored beast
 I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
 And I find myself just wishin' that my life would simply decease
