It all started out when he was young, And Kenny started out on his first run, BPO and with nothing to lose, He chose a life of drugs and a life of booze, It wasn't long before he lost it all, Everyone knew that'd he would take the fall. And now he's living down on skid row, With nowhere else for Kenny to go.
[Chorus:] Kenny's got everything he needs A lookout on life and plenty of schemes. Kenny's got everything he needs Except for a life of sobriety. Kenny's got everything he needs A lifetime of liberty and plenty of dreams. Kenny's got everything he needs Except for a life of sobriety.
Now he's forty and got four months clean, But it wasn't much longer that he's back in the scene, Shooting up dope trying to cope, And he's burning both ends of his short rope, Once again he don't care, And he's looking twice as old with the gray in hair, And next thing I heard he did it again, He got three more years in his concrete friend.
