Pumpkin Brown Lyrics
I’m just a poor kid, committed no crime
The choice of poverty was never mine
My mama works in fast food and my daddy’s never around
Many a nights we’ve slept on the ground
And they call me, they call me Pumpkin Brown
Yeah, they call me, they call me Pumpkin Brown
Got no education, no clothes for school
They say I’m bad though I follow all their rules
And they say someday they’ve got a place for me
Where they’ll lock me up and throw away the key
And they call me, they call me Pumpkin Brown
Yeah, they call me, they call me Pumpkin Brown
Twenty years gone by with no opportunity
This is all they had to offer me
And I go back in my mind and there I find
Nothing’s ever been easy
It’s just the same old story
And they call me, they call me Pumpkin Brown
Yeah, they still call me Pumpkin Brown
Even as I die with my hands up on the ground
