The kid hid his eyes he doesn’t want to show
What rides around their darkened rims
He’s gone now up north again
With his cup filled shaking to his brim
I’ve begun to care as a friend does
Though I’m not sure if that is what I am
The kid might need some kind of help from his kin
But I don’t know if they can hold his hand
His girl she takes good care of him
At least that is what she said
But she said he’s as happy now as he’s ever been
And that look in his eyes has gone dead
He’s confessed now of his criminal mind
Explained that there’s not much left to give
And I know now just what he’s feeling like
Well sometimes you just don’t want to live
But I’ve got to have a little faith in him
Give him the benefit of the doubt
The kid’s got himself into the kind of place now
That you’ve just got to find your own way out
It doesn’t make me feel like a big man
To be backed up now on the wall
I’d always hoped if I’d heard a valid cry for help
I’d been able to heed that call
