In the morning time we played travels to the sea
In the evening time we had reduced the sea to me
From your daddy
With my adult mind
You had been saved by the very friendly, Jesus man
Yeah. your mother saved us from your daddy's hand
But they never know how to let you go
But your mother saved us from your daddy's hand
The world would be less mean
In the summer time, you were all bronzed, while I was brown
If they'd only learn to let me freedom seek
If they'd only sign away my life to me
I could be much saner
You know my body feels so strange
No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan
From your daddy
And all He said, "Well, I'm your brother, man"
In the winter time, you wore patch-work hard-me-downs
And they didn't ask you where you got the candy
