lyrics

meant to be a better man
he could've been a cheeky one
Father left him very young
Mother was a working hon

it could've been you
it could've been me

no one cared to show him how
to be someone a productive son
ran away from friends and home
weird and wild he was on his own

lonesome boy
pathway to destroy
lonesome boy
stole his soul of joy

collected up the stemmy stems
a tea that led to poverty
he went into a house one day
it wasn't his but whose to say

it could've been you
it could've been me

lest the fact he had a gun
no where to go he was on the run
a monkey man he joined the clan
behind bars he became second hand

lonesome boy
pathway to destroy
lonesome boy
stole his soul of joy
