Always Remember-Blood or Whiskey

I was walking out the road when I heard the noise behind me And I saw them standing there one two three And I knew that I was shagged I did not think they could find me And the hate was on their faces plain to see Well it's great to see you lads It's a long time since I robbed you Did you miss the hundred pounds I took that day And I reached inside my coat and I read them my prescription and I laughed at how they turned and ran away These are the things I will always remember They have seen me through hatred and pain They kept me warm in the dark of December When the light has gone they still remain It was long so long ago on a stormy night she left me At the time it seemed so brutal and so tough I saw her the other day with her husband and ten kids And I thought she had turned out to be sorta rough One fine day when I was young and I left home for the first time And it felt as if my life had begun My old father grabbed my hand I can still recall his words He said be sure to never trust a hippy son When the sun goes down I won't surrender to despair and moan I will sustain it anytime of year June or September When the light has gone they still remain.
