I grew up a catholic boy in a northeastern state

A place when asked, "Where you from?"

Some people tend to hesitate, reply a little bit late

As if maybe you didn't rate

I was born to ignorance and privilege

My dad ran a printing press in a tag and label factory

May have seen it as a child, now a distant memory

Almost too faint to see, dark red brick factory

Didn't know it but my way was paved

We moved from a city street shortly after I arrived

To a house on a gravel road where I learned to be alive

Crawl, walk, run and ride, that's where I learned to come alive

Didn't know it but my way was paved
