Indebted Lyrics

Five years old, parents got divorced

Always held out hope they'd get back together

It wasn't in the cards, so we scraped to get by

My mom, me, her uncle, and my brother

Government cheese and food stamps got us by

Then my mom got a man found some cover

Only issue was, she had two kids

It's not like he didn't know it when he met her

Whenever we got out of line

So damn scared of the consequences

Walking down the hall, snapping that belt

Raring back, swinging for the fences

Those snapshots from my brain during those

Formative years, man are they imbedded

For better or worse, they made me what I am

I don't know should I be indebted

I don't know, no, I don't know

I don't know, should I be indebted

I don't know, no, I don't know

I don't know, should I be indebted

A sensitive kid, I only wanted love

It made the punishments that much harder

But when the highs were high

I wanted to stretch out the moments

Just to take them a little bit farther

It's not like there were none to be had

Now that I think about it

Where was my father

Now I'm an older man with a family of my own

These thoughts ebbed and flown this way forever

Spent my life trying to break that cycle

So my kids can have it so much better

Those snapshots from brain during those

Formative years, man are the imbedded

For better or worse, they made me what I am

I don't know, should I be indebted

I don't know, no, I don't know

I don't know, should I be indebted

I don't know, no, I don't know

I don't know, should I be indebted

I don't know, no, I don't know

I don't know should I be indebted
