I wanted to go hikin' (hikin)
I wanted to go swimin' (swim)
But all I know is
I didnt have legs (no lefs oh no no legs)

I wanted to go huntin' (hutin)
I wanted to go byciclin' (byciclin')
But all I know is I didnt have legs (no legs oh no no legs)

I couldn't run like all the other girls and boys (la la la)
I couldn't swim and I couldnt fish (couldnt swim couldnt fish)
I couldn't do anything but just sit in bed (ooh la ooh la bed)

I want so bad to know how it feels to be normal
To be able to skip through a feild of lilies
To be able to stand up on my own two feet
To just roll around on the ground like a fat kid

My mother told me (my momma tod me)
That when I was born (born)
My leg got stuck in her (stuck stuck real stuck)
And it came off
So when I came out
They had to chop the other one off

And then my mother died (my momma died)
When I came out
So I dont know how she told me
But its kinda sad (kinda sad, oh yes kinda sad)

Oh I wanted to go hikin' (hikin)
I wanted to go swimin' (swim)
But all I know is
I didnt have legs (no lefs oh no no legs)

I wanted to go huntin' (hutin)
I wanted to go byciclin' (byciclin')
But all I know is I didnt have legs (no legs oh no no legs)
