“The Boy I Was” Lyrics

You see I never saw the boy I was

All the bully’s in the school yard cussed

because they could

I was a runaway from the start

Moving from the coast to the midwest

was all but fun

All my life I felt like a renegade

Till I saw you I never felt the same

All my days have felt so incomplete

Chewing rocks of lies makes me grit my teeth

Playing cards and staying out of bars

Wasting gas and burning wheels on cars was not that hard

Talking on the phone till midnight

while watching stars shoot across the sky

All my life I felt like a renegade

Till I saw you I never felt the same

All my days have felt so incomplete

Chewing rocks of lies makes me grit my teeth
