Tekst Utworu

I grew up with a scorpion behind me
Stinging my rib cage the moment I drew air
Within his means there was nothing he denied me
But nothing was all we ever shared
I couldn't be a model son
Models have no self-motivation
They ride little trains on endless tracks
I had my own route, my own destination
In kid or blood he'd claim a distant cousin
Shipping lumber tramp steam out of Jacksonville
And he showed me reefs and hitches by the dozen
All the knots that he tied in me, they're tighter still
I couldn't be a model son
Models have no self-motivation
They ride little trains on endless tracks
I had my own route, my own destination
I couldn't be a model son
Models learn no self-preservation
They live by grace on feet of clay
Needed my own rock to tangle with temptation
The tempted stung to action
Leaving home stung some more
So we have danced it down the decades
Mother, father, son and squaw
Oh, I grew up with a scorpion behind me
Stinging my rib cage the moment I drew air
And tipped in ink indelibly he signed me
The blueprint of another son somewhere
I couldn't be a model son
Models have no self-motivation
They ride little trains on endless tracks
I had my own route, my own destination
I couldn't be a model son
Models learn no self-preservation
They live by grace on feet of clay
Needed my own rock to tangle with temptation
