Lyrics

Sam Fender — Getting Started

Eighteen, failed dream

Attracted to a bad scene

Think I'll make a couple errands

Cataclysmic age to be

When you're out of luck and your mother's in need

I made my money for the crooks and pushers

In the hopes that I claw something together for tonight

I'm going out
