Keep Them Safe
By Joeysguy

I was born in New York City
It wasn’t safe nor was it pretty

That’s where I spent my young adult life
I realized it wasn’t safe for my children or my wife

There was always that threat of danger
I didn’t want my family victimized by a stranger

I packed them up and sent them to a New Jersey town
We bought a house on a street that part of the name is brown

Life went well and my kids are now grown
All my kids now have a family and house of their own
