lyrics
The boy was so young and he sang about heartbreak
And long lonesome miles on the road
I listened and wondered how such tender years
Could know all that he seemed to know

His words were the kind that could pierce every pretense
Break through the numbness of beer
So I sat at the bar drinking whiskey and sorrow
With his words making love in my ear

How can a boy sing about things
No man I have ever known, knew
All that he is, is all that I wanted
But I wanted to find it in you

So I took a new road to meet my new vision
Untangle truth from desire
I carry with me the heart of a child
Burning with innocent fire

How can a boy sing about things
No man I have ever known knew
All that he is, is all that I wanted
But I wanted to find it in you
I wanted to find it in you

And I don't know what to do about, all these dreams
All these promises broken
Can't one thing just be what it seems
I want one thing to be what it seems
