Lyrics:

Got a house and a bit of land.
I got a pretty wife
Whose daddy don't think
I'm worthy of her hand.
Gonna make my mark while I can.
I'm gonna build the life my father was denied.
I won't live a hungry man.
Now I know it's wrong
To take what ain't your claim.
But if the world was fair I'd have my share,
I wouldn't square it on my own.
Every sin I've carved into my name
Leaves a debt to pay when my spirit makes
The final journey home.
I had a pretty wife,
But I never measured up.
We had two strong babes
Who grew afraid of the man I'd become.
I lived my life a hungry man,
But I swear I made each sacrifice
For all those who I love.
