Words and music by Gino Matteo

Arranged by Gino Matteo and Chris Desmond

 

That woman took everything and left me for dead

Took me to the courthouse just to mess with my head

Left me blinded, beaten down and bloody on the floor

Well there’s too much going on now, I’m only 24

This is heavy, way too young

Way too young, Lord and heavy

I was eighteen when I stopped hitting the booze

Knew early in life that I was destined to lose

Things got ugly and I’d walk out the door

There’s too much going on and I’m only 24

This is heavy, way too young

Way too young, Lord and heavy

Out on the street for a decade it seems

Seen a lot of things that I shouldn’t have seen

Almost got used to sleeping outdoors

Well there’s too much going on, I’m only 24

This is heavy, way too young

Way too young, Lord and heavy

Bad luck runs thicker than molasses down hill

Hard to tell if I believe what I feel

Don’t know if I can take confusion anymore

There’s too much going on and I’m only 24

This is heavy, way too young

Way too young, Lord and heavy

Used up myself a long, long time ago

Wasted my time on people I didn’t know

Look at my life I don’t know how I’m alive

Don’t know if I’m gonna make it to 25

This is heavy, way too young

Way too young, Lord and heavy

This is heavy, way too young

Way too young, Lord and heavy

Thanks everybody!

People are always asking me what my lyrics mean. Well I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyse his work: if you see it, darling, then it's there.
