I stole a bible
From a hotel room
I can't pay the bill
And check out time is noon
Someone double crossed me
And left me out to dry
Now all I can do is pray
And hope and angel happens by
They said you'll never be nothing
You're just a dead end kid
Probably end up in prison
Or maybe down on the skids
No, you'll never be nothing
You're just a dead end kid
That's what they told me
And that's what they said
I wanna play my song
Out across this lake
From Starbra Bluffs
Oh, we're in New York State
I wanna show the world
Something they ain't never seen
I wanna take you somewhere
You ain't never been
They said you'll never be nothing
You're just a dead end kid
We know who you are
We know what you did
No, you'll never be nothing
You're just a dead end kid
That's what they told me
That's what they said
Some call it homeless
Some call it stranded
Some say it's like being alone
I just call it abandoned
Sleeping in the subways
Hiding in the underground
My momma was looking for me
But I was nowhere to be found
Now I'm no longer on the run
I've had some luck and I'm doing well
But I remember where I started from
When I stole that bible from the hotel
They said you'll never be nothing
You're just a dead end kid
You'll probably end up in prison
Or maybe down on the skids
No, you'll never be nothing
You're just a dead end kid
That's what they told me
That's what they said
