WHEN I WAS YOUNG DADDY TOOK ME DOWN TO SKID ROW
HE SAID LOOK AROUND SON … THIS THE WAY YOU WANNA GO
I TURNED BACK TO HIM AND I SAID HELL NO
BUT I DID YEA I DID I ENDED UP ON SKID ROW
BUT I DID YEA I DID I ENDED UP ON SKID ROW
BROUGHT ME A BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
WHEN I STARTED OUT THINGS WERE REAL COOL
HAD ME A GOOD JOB…….. A HOUSE WITH A FANCY POOL
THINGS TURNED AROUND AND I BECAME A FOOL
BUT I DID YEA I DID I ENDED UP ON SKID ROW
BUT I DID YEA I DID I ENDED UP ON SKID ROW
BROUGHT ME A BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
WHEN I WAS YOUNG DADDY TOOK ME DOWN TO SKID ROW
HE SAID LOOK AROUND SON … THIS THE WAY YOU WANNA GO
I TURNED BACK TO HIM AND I SAID HELL NO
BUT I DID YEA I DID I ENDED UP ON SKID ROW
BUT I DID YEA I DID I ENDED UP ON SKID ROW
BROUGHT ME A BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
NOW I STAND ON THE CORNER WITH MY HAND OUT
I LOOK AROUND EVERY ONES HEAD’S HANGING LOW
BECAUSE WE ALL TURNED UP ON SKID ROW
BUT I DID YEA I DID I ENDED UP ON SKID ROW
BUT I DID YEA I DID I ENDED UP ON SKID ROW
BROUGHT ME A BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
BROUGHT ME A BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
BROWN PAPER BAG A BOTTLE WITH A LID
