Crawl

Words and Music by Mike Clifford

I've been down so long, don't know what it means to hope

Father left us young and Mother did her best to cope

Moving town to town when the piper came to call

I learned to run before I could even Crawl

Seventeen years old was the first love of my life

She got heavy with child and she took her life one desperate night

The blame rained down on me and my back fell against the wall

So they made me run even though I could barely Crawl

And somewhere tonight there's a happy place

The house is a home and the kids are warm and safe

But it's a different scene inside my head

The night that comes is a night that's cold and dead

Cold and dead

And it makes me run even when I can barely Crawl

Solo

Now I'm on my own with no one left to blame

For my wasted life and a soul still holdin' the pain

The emptiness surrounds me like the winter surrounds the fall

And it makes me run even when I can barely Crawl

Repeat Chorus and end
