It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

I always had that dream like my daddy before me

Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was 20 years old

Soon we'll be 30 years old

I'm still learning about life

My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs

My brother I'm still sorry
