I gave up a long time ago Tryin' to make em understand A little boy who's told he's slow Can grow into an angry man I talk to Jesus almost every night I ain't never heard him say You might be hurtin' but you got no right Makin' everybody pay
So go on Go on and call me crazy It won't be long Til everybody knows my name Go on But I was somebody's baby And I cried tears like rain
I hear the whisper of fate's command I ain't gonna wait no more I'm writing history in my own hand And I'm leaving it at your door I watch your daughters and I watch your sons Scatter on a summer's day I'll be the reason that they try to run But I won't let them get away
So go on Go on and call me crazy It won't be long Til everybody knows my pain Go on But I was somebody's baby And I cried tears like rain
