My Criminal Record Lyrics - Jimmy Barnes

Well I came from a broken home 

My mamma had a broken heart 

And even though she tried to fight it 

It was broken from the start 

My daddy had a problem 

But he always seemed to find himself a drink 

And when he finally hit rock bottom 

Well we didn't know how low he'd sink 

My family has a record 

That's as long as your arm 

And I don't want you to read it 

'Cause it's gonna do us harm 

I keep it locked away somewhere, I know 

In a cellar that I call my youth 

It's my criminal record 

It's the truth

It's all there in the records 

Every move is written down 

I got it tied around my neck now 

One day I'm gonna drown 

And I stood on a mountain 

And I wondered when I'd fall 

It was always right behind me 

Yeah the writing's on the wall 

My family has a record 

That's as long as your arm 

And I don't want you to read it 

'Cause it gonna do us harm 

I keep it locked away somewhere, I know 

In a cellar that I call my youth 

It's my criminal record 

It's the truth

And you can stand me up, again the wall 

With the lines behind my head 

You can point your finger at me in a lineup 

Screamin' that you want me dead 

Well, I came from a broken home 

My mamma had a broken heart 

And even though she tried to fight it 

It was broken from the start 

I keep it locked away somewhere, I know 

In a cellar that I call my youth 

It's my criminal record 

Yeah, I keep it locked away somewhere, I know 

In a cellar that I call my youth 

It's my criminal record 

It's the truth
