Louden Swain - Boy In Need lyrics

Cannot help it that he's 30 years old He spent his money on the midnight show And it all had a profound effect on him Everyone around him's paper thin Thin He can't afford to leave Listens to his needs It makes him feel so deep He's a boy in need He remembers he was 12 years old A champ in every way, or so he was told And the path, it seemed so clear ahead of him Now it's just a race he cannot win Win Win He can't afford to leave Listens to his needs Makes him feel so deep He's a boy in need Other people, they don't know Life's just a one man show He'll get his turn to grow and when it comes he won't say "no" But he can't say "yes" until that day Just to think he will be 60 years old Life not wasted, but nothing to show And he'll sit down at a table just for him And think of all that, all that could have been Been He can't afford to leave Listens to his needs Wants to play the lead He's a boy in need Need Need
