I
had
the
shit
till
it
all
got
smoked
I
kept
the
promise
till
the
vow
got
broke
I
had
to
drink
from
the
lovin'
cup
I
stood
on
the
banks
till
the
river
rose
up
I
saw
the
bride
in
her
wedding
gown
I
was
in
the
house
when
the
house
burned
down
I
may
be
old
and
I
may
be
bent
But
I
had
the
money
till
it
all
got
spent
I
had
the
money
till
they
made
me
pay
Then
I
had
the
sense
to
be
on
my
way
I
had
to
stay
in
the
underground
I
was
in
the
house
when
the
house
burned
down
I
was
in
the
house
when
the
house
burned
down
I
met
the
man
with
the
thorny
crown
I
helped
Him
carry
his
cross
through
town
I
was
in
the
house
when
the
house
burned
down
I
was
in
the
house
when
the
house
burned
down
I
met
the
man
with
the
thorny
crown
I
helped
Him
carry
his
cross
through
town
I
was
in
the
house
when
the
house
burned
down
I
had
the
shit
till
it
all
got
smoked
I
kept
the
promise
till
the
vow
got
broke
I
had
to
drink
from
the
lovin'
cup
I
stood
on
the
banks
till
the
river
rose
up
I
saw
the
bride
in
her
wedding
gown
I
was
in
the
house
when
the
house
burned
down
