Lyrics

When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity I knew how to fly And I could teach you for a fee Broke every window in my hotel heart When I was only 5 years old The 12 years scarred And I'd hear the same voice Echo in my mind Said 'son you got an angel, to chase the devil at the night' When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about God Yeah he was something like a teacher He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth I took a little faith And put it in a parking lot I drove to a strange town Full of have and have nots And as I walked through that storybook life I've been looking for an angel to chase the devil at the night Oh! oh! oh! When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about love Yeah he was something like a teacher He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth Wave Put your hands up and hands down Wave Put your hands up and hands down Wave Put your hands up and hands down When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about life Yeah he was something like a teacher He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth
