Just a Baby
[Verse 1]
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a baby
Don't ever be a gun"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
I hang my head and cry

[Chorus]
(Baby, baby, baby, oh)
When I was just a baby
(Like, baby, baby, baby, no)
When I was just a boy
(Like, baby, baby, baby, no)
I shot a man in Reno
I was just a baby boy

[Verse 2]
I hear the train a comin
I hear that railroad train
It's probably a good train
My mama was a train
But I'm stuck in baby prison
I know I can't be free
I hang my head and pee
[Chorus]
(Baby, baby, baby, oh)
When I was just a baby
(Like, baby, baby, baby, no)
When I was just a train
(Like baby, baby, baby, no)
I shot a train
But that train was just a car

[Verse 3]
I'm probably drinkin' coffee
Just a baby drinking coffee
Always drinking coffee
And smoking big cigars
Well if they freed me from this prison
Well if I was a car
I bet I'd be a good car
And that's what tortures me

[Chorus]
When I was just a baby
When I was just a boy
My mama shot a man in Reno
I was just a baby boy

(Baby, baby, baby, oh)
When I was just a baby
(Like, baby, baby, baby, no)
When I was just a train
(Like baby, baby, baby, no)
I shit my pants
I was just a baby boy
