Walk Don't Run

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.
