Ed Cash - Fire Cracker Boy lyrics

And he lay his head down on the pillow After a hard day at play His limbs were weeping like a willow tree He knows not how much he has to say It was two days before his birthday A day before the fourth of July The excitement of the small town parade Left him as his body tried to stay awake (chorus) He was a fire cracker boy Dreaming about all his new toys And the love his family had A fire cracker boy Surrounded by tremendous joy Shining eyes were in this lad His dad new how to treat him right His momma did the same thing and held him tight And they made sure this boy had all the tools To stay away from the rules of the fool Talk about a purpose This boy he did it on I've never seen this kind of talent He comes on strong But you know he'll be alright As he heads on to that Golden Light (chorus)
