Real Life Relic Lyrics

My cute naked little baby but

I'm told looked pretty good

8 pounds 13 at the start

Mama pushed best she could

Into this world screaming like a banshee

Set to go out the same

If I survive another day

You may see the scars of my pains

I'm a real life relic

Scuffed and scraped and torn

I'm a real life relic

From lifes beatins since I was born

I'm a real life relic

Tryin' to survive and play

I'm a real life relic

Feel like I'm worth more each day

A crash street kid growin' up with anger

Music was my craze

To candy and cigarettes I was no stranger

Livin' life in a blaze

Settin' my strat of life on fire

Just to taste the flame

To make it to tomorrow was my one desire

Things ain't a whole lot changed

I'm a real life relic

Scuffed and scraped and torn

I'm a real life relic

From lifes beatins since I was born

I'm a real life relic

Tryin' to survive and play

I'm a real life relic

Feel like I'm worth more each day

As the waters flow beneath my bridge

Where the wood is creakin'

And the railings slim

I can see a path to

The promised land

But I am in no hurry

Likin' where I stand

Like a fine wine bottle in time

The years smooth out the sharps

But that patina on my teeth

Got me fumblin' round in the dark

Scar here cut there broken bones

A crack on the back of my head

Hope my heart is not the lark

That sings the song of my dead

I'm a real life relic

Scuffed and scraped and torn

I'm a real life relic

From lifes beatins since I was born

I'm a real life relic

Tryin' to survive and play

I'm a real life relic

Sold for a million on eBay

I'm a real life relic

Will you love me for what I am

Yeah I'm a real life relic

Love me best you can
