Lyrics
SOMEONE?S KID
He was asittin? alone and he
He was asittin? alone and he
Was someone?s kid.
He was someone?s kid.
He had a smile on his face and he
He had a smile on his face that he
Wore every day.
And he was someone?s kid.
(CH) Sammy sang for a dime
Dirty shirts and candy rhymes
But when he smiled, he took
The tears from your face
When [cuz?] he gave thanks, praise the Lord.
And what he had growin? up
His mom and dad brokin? up,
He ran away at 12 years old.
And he was someone?s kid.
CHORUS
(BR) Someone gave him a ride
They lit him up, and then he cried
And as he took his last hit, looked up and sighed
Then he gave thanks, praise the Lord.
FIRST VERSE...
