v1 Daddy was an Airman, raised 'round Ton-ka-wa. grew up traumatized by all the things that he saw. He died the greatest man I'll ever know, always knew how his boys and mama loved him so. v2 Mama was raised on a Big Sky ranch till her Daddy died. Went back East and took off young with some Air Force guy. I knew about the secrets that both of them hid. I had one, too, just like Mama and Daddy did. chorus You wouldn't know by looking in their eyes. you can never tell it's a child in disguise. And you won't ever see, the hell they're holdin' in unless you try to pierce the soul of that child, again. v3 I was an Air Force Brat way down south in San Antone. Running wild and always running far away from home. It wasn't my family that I was running from, but a "family friend" that tried to end their second son. and you won't know by looking in my eyes. you can never tell it's a child in disguise. And you won't see it comin' the hell that lies within, if you try to pierce the soul of that child, again. bridge We may seem a little cold, some just call us crazy. My parents hid there's well, Maybe Im just lazy. I was wild before the fall, my mask just wouldn't stay on my face, at all. solo chorus You'll never know just by looking in our eyes. you can never tell it's a child in disguise. And you won't see it comin' the hell that we're holdin' in until you try to pierce the soul of that child, again. if you ever pierce the soul of that child again. Don't ever pierce the soul of that child again. fade.
