Boy

I don't have to live like a boy anymore I wake up every morning and I drink my coffee black The days roll by and I count the ways I don't worry anymore I don't have to live like a boy anymore I don't have to drink the bottle anymore I pour myself a low ball No ice I'll take it neat The nights roll by and I count the days Til I'm off this lonely road And I don't have to live like a boy anymore I don't have to smoke the whole pack anymore I stay til I'm tired, I'm not lying on the floor The nights pass by and I dream of days 'Fore you walked out the door and I don't have to live like a boy anymore I don't have to steal for my dinner anymore No more turning tricks, just to keep this rig afloat I work all day just to pay this rent I got this hunger I can't ignore and I don't have to live like a boy anymore I don't have to sleep on the floor anymore I lived my life like a sojourn, Yeah, I've seen it all before I don't hang my head in shame today I wear it all like a badge I don't have to live like a boy at last I don't to drive like a bat out of hell I take my time on the highway Driving slow, but living well with a smoke and song, it won't be long til I'm home with her stay I don't have to live like a boy today I've spent my whole life thirsty, sometimes water, usually beer Always on the run, always waiting on another year I've been baptized in the holy rain No need to run, no need to fear I don't have to live like a boy here I don't have to breathe so shallow anymore I took a dip in the deep end, now I'm shipwrecked on your shore To win you've gotta fail, but you paid my bail They put a price upon my head And now I don't have to live like a boy, my friend. My bones are shaking like a pickup truck I'm alone tonight and I need some luck I was out on the run, now I'm going home I'm coming back not a boy, but I'm still your son My bones are shaking like a pickup truck I'm alone tonight and I need some luck I was out on the run, now I'm going home I'm coming back not a boy, but I'm still your son My bones are shaking like a pickup truck I'm alone tonight and I need some luck I was out on the run, now I'm going home I'm coming back not a boy, but I'm still your son My bones are shaking like a pickup truck I'm alone tonight and I need some luck I was out on the run, now I'm going home I'm coming back not a boy, but I'm still your son
