I've run around with fools and friends
And I've outlasted them all
Been beaten down by the best of them, but
It ain't beaten if you hop back on that saddle
I've taken more than my fair share
I've taken even more since
Known far and wide as a bastard, but
I am greeted as a prince
Come back, oh childish innocence
You've been away for far too long
Turn back, you're neither bastard nor a prince
Become the coward we all know
So I picked up my boots and empty bottles
Figured I'd head back home
Become the man my mother wanted me to be
I'd meet a girl and fall in love
But I could never walk the straight line
Never keep a woman for too long
It's too hard to be a king when
You're bearing someone else's load
Come back, oh childish innocence
You've been away for far too long
Take me back to them golden streets I've missed
And save me from this dusty road
Now I'm the first upon arrival
Yeah, I'm the last to lift your load
Lived this life just like a king, but
I remain a bastard
