    Lyrics:
    Carrying the weight of the world uphill
    Keep on running so you don’t stand still
    Ice cream meltin’ on the red dirt race track
    Walking through the halls with a bullet proof backpack
    Ain’t old enough to buy your own cold beer
    Y’all ain’t the ones who make the rules ‘round here
    Eat your peas and say your prayers
    Hush your mouth and brush your hair
    Who do you think you are kid
    Bare feet on the tar kid
    Crashing daddy’s car kid
    Grow up fast like your momma did
    Teenage baby had a baby
    All them dreams turn into maybe
    Maybe’s now a healthy never
    Forever young ain’t young forever
    Ain’t that the truth about the truth
    Will put a world of hurt on you
    A broomstick poke in the bike spokes
    The joke’s on you
    Who are you
    Trying to
    Kid
    Fighting with a cast ‘round a half broke wrist
    Skin on the road from a handlebar twist
    Can’t make sense of the story they gave us
    Money won’t do it but the Lord might save us
    All sins are forgiven
    Jesus on the walls
    Hell Uncle Mike’s in heaven
    And there ain’t no Santa Claus
    Who do you think you are kid
    Bare feet on the tar kid
    Crashing daddy’s car kid
    Grow up fast like your momma did
    Teenage baby had a baby
    All them dreams turn into maybe
    Maybe’s now a healthy never
    Forever young ain’t young forever
    Ain’t that the truth about the truth
    Will put a world of hurt on you
    A broomstick poke in the bike spokes
    The joke’s on you
    Who are you
    Trying to
    Kid
    Who do you think you are, kid
    Who do you think you are kid… You ain’t bound to go far kid…
    Tell me how’d you get that scar, kid?… Sorry life’s so hard kid…
    Ain’t that the truth about the truth
    Will put a world of hurt on you
    A broomstick poke in the bike spokes
    The joke’s on you
    Who are you
    Who are you
    Who are you
    Trying to
    Kid

    This cat is a generational talent, and he’s singing in a bunk bed with what appears to be a monitor when you have little kids. It just fits the narrative. Dude rips your heart out.

    Stephen Wilson Jr. can tell a more poignant, vivid story with only a weathered guitar and a voice in 3 minutes than most Hollywood directors can in 3 hours with A list actors and an unlimited budget.

      You got that right. I miss the good ol days, now everything is inverted, people are soft and too shiny, boys are girls,egg I think I catch my drift. How did we(wholesome ignorance) let so much infiltrate our everything? Well I've been up nights looking for the exact word. DISTRACTION! that's my final answer lol. This next group of young adults are gonna have an eye opener. 🤦

    I’ve listened to the album on loop countless times. While every song is phenomenal, this one steals the cake for me. Makes me cry every time I listen to it. “How’d you get that scar kid?” Stephen, you are a once in a lifetime artist and an absolute master of the craft.

    Every time he says "sorry life's so hard kid" I hear myself, in my head, saying that to my son, while simultaneously hearing it from my father, who passed away just a few months ago.
    On a side note, Lori Mckenna appears to be credited with co-writing this song. The lyrics actually caused me to look and see if she had some hand in this. It's an amazing song.
