The world above's gone mad
But I still know the old trails
And how to keep from leavin' empty-handed
When the planet was damned
They found out quick
This ain't no place for kids
I was just a boy back then
Now I've grown up
I was just a boy back then
Now I'm a drifter
I've grown up
I'm in my cradle
Huntin' for the crystals
Ridin' through the wasteland
Magus at my side
Guns, we got a couple
And I don't wanna use 'em
But a bandit comes a callin
I'm a gonna end 'em
It was kill or be killed
So I got real good at it
I was just a boy back then
But I've grown up
I was just a boy back then
Now I'm a drifter
There's no cryin' on the floor
No beggin' on your knees
No salvation in the stars
But there's tears in the streets
I'm a light in the rain
Huntin' for the crystals
We all need a reason
I ain't tryin' to die
A little too old
A little too bold
To give a damn about the why
I'm just tryin' to stay alive
I was just a boy back then
Now I'm a drifter
I've grown cold
I'm in my cradle
Huntin' for the crystals
Ridin' through the wasteland
Magus at my side
Guns, we got a couple
And I don't wanna use 'em
But a bandit comes a callin
I'm a gonna end 'em
It was kill or be killed
So I got real good at it
I was just a boy back then
But I've grown up
I was just a boy back then
Now I'm a drifter
Through the ruins and the old tech
It's strange what they call artifact
Gonna grab what I can
Bring it back home
Maybe sell it for some money
Maybe keep it on my stand
My collection keeps growing
But so do those damned debts
I was just a boy back then
Now I'm a drifter
I feel owned
I'm in my cradle
Huntin' for the crystals
Ridin' through the wasteland
Magus at my side
Guns, we got a couple
And I don't wanna use 'em
But I got an order to fill
All to pay my bills
Come and try your luck
It's gotta suck to die
Tryin' to steal a buck
But it ain't gonna be mine
It's still kill or be killed
And I'm real good at it
I was just a boy back then
But I've grown up
I was just a boy back then
Now I'm a drifter
