Tom Milsom & 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
