Call me john dean I live right down the street
Here's the story if you will
I'm a man but I'm only thirteen
On the brink of something real

And they say that the only way to go is down
And they say that the only way to go is down

But it's my time, today
And there's nothing you can say
To make this lousy bet of yours to go over well
But I've got a chance, to make it
If I just stay the course
And there's nothing in between me and my lord

Me and mom with three girls and a boy
Tryin' to make it on a dollar bill
Dad's in jail all my friends make fun
Thinkin' they could really know how it feels

And they say that the only way to go is down
And they say that the only way to go is down

But it's my time, today
And therе's nothing you can say
To make this lousy bet of yours to go over wеll
But I've got a chance, to make it
If I just stay the course
And there's nothing in between me and my lord

But it's my time, today
And there's nothing you can say
To make this lousy bet of yours to go over well
But I've got a chance, to make it
If I just stay the course
And there's nothing in between me and my lord

I've got a chance, to make it
If I just stay the course
And there's nothing in between me and my lord
