Little Boy Blue

THIS HIGHWAY USED TO BE MY FREEDOM ROAD
TILL I STARTED PULLING AN OVERSIZED LOAD
WHAT I CARRY WITH ME IS WHAT I LEAVE BEHIND
THERE'S A LOTTA HARD MILES ON THIS OLD HEART
I WANNA TURN 'EM BACK AND MAKE A BRAND NEW START
FOR A LITTLE BOY WHO'S WEIGHING KINDA HEAVY ON MY MIND

HE'S STARTIN TO CRY WHEN I DRIVE AWAY
WALKIN THROUGH THE HOUSE, CALLIN MY NAME
IT'S TIME THAT I KICK OFF THESE TRAVELIN SHOES FOR

LITTLE BOY BLUE
WONDERS WHERE I'VE GONE
LITTLE BOY BLUE
KEEPS ME DRIVIN TILL THE DAWN
I CAN'T STAY AWAY ANOTHER DAY
I'VE GOTTA GET BACK TO
MY LITTLE BOY BLUE

I'VE HAD TOO MUCH COFFEE, I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT
I'VE GOT MY SECOND WIND AND SECOND SIGHT
AND I SWEAR THAT I CAN SEE MY FAMILY
STILL SIX MORE EXITS TILL I TURN
AND A 10 MILE TWO LANE ROAD TO BURN
THEN I'M WALKIN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR WHERE MY SON IS ASKING ME

DADDY YOU SIT DOWN AND PLAY?
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WORK TODAY?
AND QUESTIONS THERE'S NO EASY ANSWERS TO FOR

LITTLE BOY BLUE
WONDERS WHERE I'VE GONE
LITTLE BOY BLUE
KEEPS ME DRIVIN THROUGH THE DAWN
I CAN'T SPEND ANOTHER NIGHT AWAY
I WANNA WAKE UP TO
MY LITTLE BOY BLUE

IF I COULD CHANGE THIS WORLD, THIS ROAD I TRAVEL ON
WOULD LEAD HOME EVERY EVENING TO MY WIFE AND MY SON

LITTLE BOY BLUE
WONDERS WHERE I'VE GONE
LITTLE BOY BLUE
IN THE DARKNESS 'FORE THE DAWN
FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVIN MY LIFE AWAY
I'M TURNING INTO
LITTLE BOY BLUE
I'M A LITTLE BOY BLUE
