Kenny Paroles

A lifetime of liberty and plenty of dreams
Kenny's got everything he needs
Except for a life of sobriety

It all started out when he was young
And Kenny started out on his first run
BPO and with nothing to lose
He chose a life of drugs and booze

It wasn't long before he lost it all
Everyone knew he'd take the fall
Now he's living down on skid row
With nowhere else for Kenny to go

Now he's 40 and got 4 months clean
But it wasn't much longer that he's back in the scene
Shooting up dope, trying to cope
He's burning both ends of his short rope

Once again, he don't care Kenny's got everything he needs
A lookout on life and plenty of schemes
Kenny's got everything he needs
Except for a life of sobriety

Kenny's got everything he needs
A lifetime of liberty and plenty of dreams
Kenny's got everything he needs
Except for a life of sobriety
