Golden Boy

[Verse 1]

He was a mighty golden boy, as gold as ever seen

When he stepped up to the podium, you could tell that boy was mean

[Verse 2]

His arms was made of nickel, his forehead made of wood

An affidavit from the principal says, "This boy just ain't no good"

Ain't no good

[Verse 3]

He stood before the union, and he made a solemn oath

Uphold the purity of his creed, and the others he would toast

He worked nights at the liquor mart, and he drank to pad his pay

When he caught him liftin' 40's, he shot a boy last May

[Refrain]

His momma asked, "Why?"

(Go Ler)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

His lawyer in the courtroom made a noble plea

And the judge had gave him eighteen months, but he was out in three

When asked if he ever felt remorse while sittin' up in that pen

He said, "Hell no, y'know, a thief's a thief, and I'd shoot that fucker again, yes I would"

[Refrain]

His momma asked, "Why?"

His momma asked, "Why?"
