Lyrics

Second job, working nights in a market just to make ends meet
It's taking more than she got but she never knew no different
'Cause twenty miles across that county line, she's got a boy back home
Daddy's gone, there's no one left at home for him, you see
So he sings himself to sleep
When I'm old enough
And I'm tall enough
You know I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
And I'm strong enough
And I'm man enough
You know I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
I remember the days when I had nothing to my name
I laugh at the times when I lost myself in pain
So take out all your money, bet on me
I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
Minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and
Years pass, it still ain't getting no better
Mama's working hard, she's got a better
Job, the bills, they ain't no easier
Boy is missing out on school, he's
Missing out on life, it just don't matter
His daddy's gone, there's no one left at home for him, you see
So he sings himself to sleep
When I'm old enough
And I'm tall enough
You know I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
And I'm strong enough
And I'm man enough
You know I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
I remember the days when I had nothing to my name
I laugh at the times when I lost myself in pain
So take out all your money, bet on me
I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
Wouldn't make it easier if your daddy was around
Wouldn't make a difference if he hadn't let you down
He'd tell you son, there's something that you're gonna figure out
When there's no one left to count on in this lonely world
You gotta figure it out yourself
One morning the boy woke up, made up his mind to leave
Get a town, finally live that dream he'd waited his whole life to live
So he packed his bags, said bye to his mom, and let the back door slam
And now he's gone, there's nothing left at home for him, you see
And as he walks along, he sings
Now I'm old enough
And I'm tall enough
You know I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
And I'm strong enough
And I'm man enough
You know I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
I remember the days when I had nothing to my name
I laugh at the times when I lost myself in pain
So take out all your money, bet on me
I'm gonna show this world a thing or three
