Small Town Blues Lyrics

I grew up in a small town out in the country
I never had much and I was often hungry
My dad he died young and I had to be strong
But I was a child that didn't get along
I tried to get up but I always fell down
This twisted society has dragged me around
You made me the man that I am today
But I never wanted to live my life this way
I had a bad reputation that never burned out
And the teachers in school they had no doubt
As they said I'm a looser and I won't get that far
And so I dropped out of school and played my guitar
I tried to get up but I always fell down
This twisted society has dragged me around
You made me the man that I am today
But I never wanted to live my life this way
