Little Carmichael Lyrics

You say my house burned down
Wooden boards met the ground
An island called obsolete
But you can"t count on warmth for everything
You say my love left me
She found a purer breed
And gave back her wedding ring
But you can"t count on love for everything
But someday I"ll be the man in power
Someday I"ll be my father"s boy
Day to day patiently
Child and mother feed
On my old man, and what he brings
But we can"t count on him for everything
You say my house burned down
Wood and nails to the ground
But someday I"ll be the man in power
Someday I"ll be my father"s boy
