Alan Lastufka - Just A Boy lyrics

I'm just a boy I watch cartoons and play with toys, While others just see trash around my feet. In my mind I like to fly away, See the whole world in just one day So the worries of my world don't bother me. Oh, don't bring me down, I'm just a boy. Now I'm growing up and people say I look like my father more each day, And I smile as my stomach turns inside. Seventeen years of looking at his face, Speed's the key as he starts his race, And just a little pill to help him end his ride. Oh, valium brings him down, Oh, I'm just a boy. You can say that it's okay, But I will never forget the day A strange car came and he got inside, And I knew he'd never make it through that ride. Oh, I was just a boy. Now I'm just a man, Working day to day the best I can. My office overlooks a busy street. Now I'm finally free, Thanks to a fortune on therapy. I have a house and a car, and they say I dress pretty neat. Oh, you can't bring me down, No, you can't bring me down, I'm not a boy. You can say that it's okay, But I will never forget the day I looked in the mirror and was filled with grief, When I saw my father's face staring back at me. Now I'm spiraling down Spending weeks in a hospital gown, And my money's all run out, Who remembers what charity's about? Oh, help, I'm falling down, Oh, help me, I'm falling down, I am just a boy.
