When I Was Little
When I was little
 my mother and my sisters
 and me
 ran away to Alabama
 ran away from problems that I won't mention here.
 but we were running,
 running, running.
 I'm not sure 
 if we
 ever got away,
 but the night sky on the way to Alabama
 sure was pretty,
 like nothing I've ever seen
 here in Detroit city,
 and we were 
 safe
 for a time, 
 just a small patch of time
 when I was little.
